I'd like to tell you about my first gun and to hear stories (and pics if available) of your first gun.

My first gun was a Winchester Model 67 single shot rifle in .22 Long Rifle. Mom had given my dad the rifle for Christmas, 1946. I was less than 3 months old that Christmas. I learned to first shoot on this rifle, killed a whole lot of rabbits with it as a boy, teen, and man, and Dad gave me the rifle when I turn 16 years old.

A month or so ago, I decided to take Dad's old .22 rifle to the range to do some plinking. To see if the rifle was still shooting to point of aim, I set up a target at 25 yards. I lined up the sight on the target and took my first shot (please see photo below). Do you understand why I didn't take another shot on that target?

The rifle has been a tack driver -- and still is. This rifle is a joy to shoot. Do you reckon Dad's .22 rifle is for sale?









Thanks for viewing Dad's old .22 rifle. It was my first gun. Please tell us about yours.

God bless,
