The first firearm I ever shot.

[Bigtanker]

While at my parents house last week, I asked dad if I could see the old .22 rifle that he had. It was the first real gun I had ever fired. It is a 50's or 60's J.C. Higgins model 101.23 made for Sears and Roebuck co. After some research, I found out it was basically a Savage model 34. This rifle is so accurate! I took it home to clean it up and can't wait to shoot it again.

I feel like I just had deja vu.

You are 35 and JUST shot your first "real gun"?

What cave have you been hiding in?

Just messing with you. Welcome to gun world. I recommend learning gun safety. You can never learn enough! Then learn how the different types of guns actually work.

You will be hooked on the machines that can reach out 100's of yards and even put dinner on the table if need be.

If I'm not mistaken, I think the OP meant that it was the first gun he fired years ago as a child.

The first gun I ever shot was a M-14, many years ago. And my uncle Sam supplied the gun and the ammo. I think my second was a full auto M-16.

Octagon barrel Stevens pump in .22 short only from some bygone era. Was grand dads and the barrel was threaded (????) I asked him why the threads and his response was....hunting boy, just for hunting. It was and still is a tack driver. It is put away.

I had a similiar experience this year. My dad passed away from cancer and a bunch of old pictures were pulled out for the funeral. One was of me, him, and my grandpa as I was pulling the trigger for the first time on an old .410

Fired a bolt action .22 in High School ROTC many years ago. Don't remember the make or model but I can remember the instructor's face to this day. He was rough as a cob but a great instructor. Handed us the .22 LR cartridges one at a time.

Remington nylon 66 for me

I am sure I fired a .22 of some kind, but the one I remember, is the .410 shotgun .....

The first gun I ever shot was a Sears and Roebuck 16 ga. I was 8 and I bugged my grandpa all day to shoot a gun. He replied "you can shoot the shotgun if you will stand on a fence post" ! I replied no problem. So he stood me on a railroad tie (converted to a fence post) and handed me the 16ga ! I quickly shouldered it and squeezed the trigger. When it was over my grandpa was holding the gun and I was on my butt ! Good times , good times.

Dad got a gounghog with this 22 yesterday. I got one today with it.

So what was your first gun you fired?

 

[venenoindy]

A llama .380 that my uncle let me shoot.

 

[ModernGunner]

Remington .22, loaded through the stock. I was 6 years old at the time, been shooting ever since.

A 1934 Remington model 33 .22 rifle that was my grandfather's. Still have the gun and my kids have all started out on it.

 

[j4jenk]

Glenfield/Marlin model 60, when I was six. My dad gave it to me shortly after I got out of the army, and I still shoot it occasionally.

 

[Lammchop93]

My buddy's old double barrel 16ga.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I shot a bolt action .22 during a weeklong public school 'field trip'/camping excursion. I do not know what model it was...
But shortly thereafter, my father gave me a .22 Winchester Model 320.
The rifle which I was recently reunited with, and my son & I both enjoy shooting now.

Double barrel 12 gauge, I think I was 11 or 12 years old.
