[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2895045, member: 9299"] I guess mine would be dad's old Remington 22 single shot, late 1930's version I think, and the first full box of 22 shorts I received in my stocking one Christmas eve. I think I was around 9-10 years old before I stepped up from the old Daisy BB gun to dad's "real rifle", since we were very poor dirt farmers, that single shot and tight supply of ammo set me on the course of precise shooting, carefully stalking game or coming home without meat for the pot. The next would be my first Remington 870 Wingmaster. It was a Christmas gift from my brother who was 11 years older than I, and I was 13 at the time. At that time, I think he paid about $70-75 for that new 870. While it was considered a Christmas gift, he gave it to me the weekend prior to Thanksgiving. That weekend was the opening of gun deer season, and now I had my own shotgun and did not have to use dad's old 16ga single. That old shotgun saw many years of service and killed numerous small game and deer. Eventually, I replaced the old fixed modified choke barrel with a 26" vent ribbed Rem Choke model. [/QUOTE]
