[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1413984, member: 13833"] Mine would be my dad's old 32 Winchester Special. It is a model 55 takedown with a 24" nickel steel barrel. It was given to my dad in the late 40's by a guy that he guided on a deer hunt in Michigans Upper Peninsula, when he returned home from Germany at the end of the war. He killed countless deer with it and I and my 2 older brothers added to the number. Dad finally got a model 721 '06 and gave the 32 to my oldest brother. In 1973, my dad drowned on a fishing trip in Ontario We had planned an elk hunting trip to Idaho, but it wasn't to be. Two years later I moved to Northern Idaho and my brother would travel out to hunt with me. In 2002, my brother and I were sitting on a ridge, looking accross a canyon and he said, brother, when I'm gone I want you to have my rifle! I thanked him and when he was leaving to head home to Michigan he said, "see you here next year"! He passed away that year before he could return. His dear wife gave the rifle to me after his passing. I killed my first Buck with that rifle when I was 13. It is the one rifle that I would not, or could not, ever sell. My son will get it when I'm gone!....rich [/QUOTE]
