[QUOTE="Ol' Red, post: 2894857, member: 107965"] My first rifle was a Winchester model 55. A single shot .22 with a top loading gate and auto eject out the bottom. The hot empty shell would burn my forearm sometimes. I was 12 years old and a dirt poor farm kid. My uncle took me hunting and at the end of the day told me that I should keep the gun. Terms were I could not sell it, never shoot or aim it at anything I was not hunting or a target. And hand it down to one of my kids. I remember saying " uncle Chuck, I'm not going to have kids." I still have that rifle in the back of my safe, behind some nice rifles. That little .22 started me hunting out of necessity for meat. Funny how I started hunting rabbits, and then went down the rabbit hole. [/QUOTE]
