A Sears single shot 20 gauge shotgun. I got it for Christmas in 1981, I was thirteen years old at the time. Most of the other kids that I knew that hunted had gotten their first guns a few years earlier than I did. I still have that shotgun, but I haven't shot it in a while.
Better to have and not need, than need and not have.
The first real gun was a Beretta 92FS. I bought if off a retired LEO so I could use it on the job. Within 6 months, the gun bug bit me good. I have been buying several guns a year since then. I can't remember what my first rifle was. It was either the 10/22 or a Savage 110 in .270. I know I bought them a few days apart.

My dad gave me a well used winchester 37 20 gauge when I was 10.With his help, I bought a Ithaca Model 49 single shot lever action when I was 13 new for $39.00 of hard earned hay money. I still own them both........Greg
Hello, Remington 870 Express 12 guage, with 28 inch barrel, choke tubes. Still has the same barrel on it, but now it has full pistol grip stock (removable stock), synthetic forearm, jumbo head safety, high visability shell follower, 10 mag. extention, fiber optic front sight, side saddle shell carrier, mag./barrel clamp with sling swivel, and an adjustable nylon sling. I really like that one.

A couple years after I got out of the service, I decided to move to the "Big City" of Jacksonville, Fl. Figured I had better have something for protection, so I bought a Bauer .25 auto. Later sold it to a girl that moved a couple places and ended up in Chicago. I tracked her down and bought it back. She had it under the seat in her car, so good thing it is stainless. Paid $100 for it, sold it for $100 and bought it back for $100. Now it isn't for sale.
Remington falling block .22. My dad bought it at a gun auction when I was 5 for $17, the stock was broken so my dad found a piece of walnut and carved a stock out for it. I shot my first squirrel with it that fall. It's still a great shooter, my 10 year old boy hunts with it.[:)]
