I know we have done this before but its been awhile.
So what was your first Rimfire, Centerfire Rifle, Pistol, and Shotgun??

Here are mine:

Rimfire- Old Springfield Model 15 single shot 22. My dad paid $7 for it from a co-worker. I still have it.

Centerfire Rifle- It was a custom something or another in 308 Winchester. Cant remember much about it. It was stolen in 1997.

Pistol- Taurus Model 441 stainless 4" barrel in 44 Special. I sold it to my dad many years ago.

Shotgun- New England 20 Gauge single shot. Bought it from a friend of mine for $20. It was stolen in 1997 as well.

first rimfire was a model 6 remington falling block that was made in the early 1900's. killed alot of stuff with tht gun, shooting little .22 shorts. was my great uncles, who i never got the chance to meet. still have the gun.

first shotgun was a stevens .410 that my dad bought me at a pawnshop for around $30. never could hit very much with it so a few years later i bought myself a 20 gauge pump. sold it to a buddy about a week after i bought the 20.

first pistol was one i bought when i was 17, ruger stainless blackhawk in .357. sold it a few years later to finance my first business.....it failed miserably. wish i still had that gun.

first rifle was a winchester 94 in 30-30 when i was 10......never killed anything with it until many years later, it was replaced with a ruger .270 that i still have. the 30-30 was lost in my parents divorce after i left it in my stepdads gun cabinet

Never owned a rimfire.

Shotgun was a 20 ga Remington single shot my daughter is using.

Rifle was a Remington .223 with a shortened barrel and stock my daughter will use this year.

Pistol is a Beretta PX4 9 mm sub compact.

Rimfire: Rossi pump with the stock cut off...gun is literally not 24" long. Got it as a baby shower gift I'm told.

Centerfire: Ruger No. 1 Carbine. .243 with the stock sawed off. That gun would stomp the crap out of me and I was terified of it the first three years I shot it. First deer I ever shot was a dumb spike. I was five he was two and I shot 5 times at him. Got scoped on the last one. Started my kiddo off with something a little smaller...

Shotgun: Winchester youth 20

Pistol: Bought a Glock about 10 years ago.

Rimfire- Remington 552 speedmaster. It was my dads first also.
Centerfire - Remington model 7 243. I'm and idiot for selling it. However I now have my dads Rem 700 Bdl in 30-06 that his dad gave him when he was 15. My dad named it after a dog that they would hunt with. We call it ol Henry because when Henry barks you know there's meat in the tree. I love this gun and will NEVER sell it.
Shotgun - Winchester model 12. Was my granddads.
Pistol - first one was a old 22 revolver but my first centerfire was a 44 mag rugged super blackhawk hunter
