Getting in the mood and sentimental value....

[lovemachine]

I was cleaning out the safe, rearranging items and such. And I came across my first gun. I got it for Christmas from my dad when I was like 10. Its a Marlin .22 Magnum Bolt Action. I havent shot it in years.

I took it out and looked it over. It brought back memories from that Christmas and shooting in the backyard with my dad and brothers. All of a sudden I just got in the mood to shoot it.

So, I believe I'm heading to MCFG this weekend to shoot!

You must be younger than me.

Why you say that?

Probably because he had the same reaction I did. That gun aint all that old

Nice gun! take it out and shoot it. I have an heirloom rifle too although it is a little older than yours. Mines a Winchester 1890 22 short. A pump action 22 short is fun to shoot. Enjoy your range trip.

I don't have my first gun anymore; it was a Daisy 22. The rear site fell off, and the trigger was like 30 pounds....I wasn't too sad to part with it, really. I've got other guns with memories attached to them, though.
