Two summers later he bought me a Stevens Savage model 59b 410 tube feed bolt action shotgun.

Both still in my safe today. I kept both in my room with ammo at the age of 8. Never had any problems or got in any trouble with them either.

Well I just got my first rifle for Christmas, a Marlin 336 30-30 NIB. After opening the box and checking it out, found that the lever was getting caught up. I gave the rifle a light oiling to see if it would help out but didn't seem to help. So I decided to return the rifle where my wife had purchased it.

Upon doing an exchange for the last Marlin in stock, the salesmen noticed the trigger was stuck (took five minutes of working it to get it to release). So finally I did an exchange for a Rossi Rio Grande in stainless. I'm very happy with my first rifle. Now I've got gun fever, can't stop looking for more.

 

[EvilKidsMeal]

A 1942 Izzy Mosin Nagant. round reciever not a speck of rust on her. all matching numbers. only a week or two after that i got a Remington 700ADL in .308.

[CVMA544]

Mine was a Marlin 22lr, in 1976, first long gun was a SS Kresege 20 ga single shot in 1974.

 

[patience0830]

Wow

Hadn't thought about it in a while but my first real rifle was a Stevens bolt action single shot that you cocked by hand pulling on the back of the bolt. That and a 3/4" tasco scope and a few boxes of .22 short hollow points accounted for a lot of squirrels from the age of 13 to about 17.
One of Dad's friends gave me that rifle. He passed from bone cancer a few years later. Both my little brothers used it growing up and we killed a hog or two about every year with it when it got cold enough to butcher.

Wish I could say that I still had it.

 

[stangman35]

Mine was a remington nylon 66 semi auto,tube fed back in 75 or 76.Still have it.
