    My first rifle was (and still is) a Bushmaster AR-15. I went to a gun show looking for a shotgun and came home with that.

    a very old single shot breech loaded 22 which belonged to my Grandfather. I have no idea what the make was. I was around 7 years old when he taught me to shoot it. Many years later, when I got out of the Marine Core, I borrowed it from my Grandmother and took it to a range and tried it again. It was still the best shooting rifle I have shot. I had friends with me who was missing cans while using an non zeroed scope, but I kept hitting the cans at 100 yards. Believe it or not they tried it and it go more action that day than any other rifle. I wish I had it now, but I have not idea where it ended up.

    Remington Nylon 66 bought in 1960. I still have it today and after thousands of rounds it looks and shoots as good as the day I bought it.

    First rifle I shot was a Springfield model 56 that was my grandpa's. First rifle I owned was the same gun that I just inherited. I actually just taught my six year old how to shoot on the same gun.

    Ithaca Lightning X-5 .22 calibre. My grandfather got it for me when I was a tyke. If I hadn't lost it (and all my other guns) in a tragic boating accident it would still be around.
