.50 Cal. rifles of almost any brand and let's not forget the Browning SA-22, especially the early Belgian rifles.

DL, it sounds as if your son has good taste, maybe it's the Michigan in him.

Below is a shot of my Grandparents, with my oldest 71. This one has a serial no. just over 100.
The other one I have was my Dad's and that's in the middle four digit range.

In the picture my Grandmother is holding an Ermine, which I still have right here in this room.
The mount has definitely seen better days but it'll be around as long as I am.

My Grandfather shot that Weasel, with of all things, his 71.
He said it was running along the trunk of an old downed tree and he purposely shot under it.
The term he always used when telling that story was that "He barked it."

Seems that those little Winchester pump .22's are a bit hard to come by these days. Not all that many years ago you'd see several in any gunshop, and find them for less than a hundred bucks. I always thought they were a slick little shooter, but never picked one up. My brother has my dad's.
