My first was a Christmas gift from my girlfriend. It was branded Westernfield. My folks didn't care for guns and rolled their eyes when they found out she had given me a gun. It's lazar straight shooter. Well we married and we shot the rifle a bunch. She moved on and a couple of years ago I gave it to our son. Figured he need to be the owner. He had shot it a bunch. Later bought a 39-A from my brother and it was a fun shooter compact and accurate. I sold it to a friend without saying anything to son. He had me on the ---- list about that one.
