[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1581913, member: 33159"] My grandfather bought me my first gun when I was 16. A Remington 1100 12 gauge with a modified barrel (way before the choke systems came out). He took me dove hunting. I cherish that shotgun. It still looks brand new. Although I have many other shotguns, the Rem is special to me. It’s my dove gun and it’s only used for dove hunts. Many years ago when my grandfather passed away, one of my uncles took possession of all his guns. Funny, but nobody really knows where those guns are now. I’d kill to have one of my grandfather’s big game rifles. He hunted elk and deer. I have no idea what caliber it is. I just know I’d love to hunt with the rifle that he had. Call me nostalgic or sentimental. I think it’s cool to have something like that passed on in the family. My step kids aren’t into guns or hunting, so I’ve already made sure that the son of one of my hunting buddies will get my collection. I know he’ll enjoy and use them, as well as appreciate what has been passed on to him. Hopefully, he can pass them on to his kids. [/QUOTE]
