What was your first shotgun?

[Driller]

Ithica M66 Supersingle .410

My dad gave me the same gun for my first. My grandfather gave it to him as his first. I am jealous though, grandpa just gave my 5 year old son a remington 1100 .410. Guess I'll have to break it in for him.

20ga Stevens thumb break single barrel that I got at age 10 and still have 45 years later:

 

[Stubbleducker]

H&R 12ga single shot. Kicked like a mule!

 

[Zoub]

Started with a 50's era Winchester M42, it was my Dad's and first shotgun I ever shot too.

First I bought, an 870 Wingmaster 12 in 78. My boss at the gun club ordered it so Remington assumed it was for him and put a nice stock on it. Sweet!

Still have both

First shotgun

Mine was a Winchester model 12 trap gun in 12 gauge left to me by my Grandpa. Still have it.

I still have a 1945 Ithaca Model 37 12 GA. that was my grandfathers. Lightweight, nice pump action, bottom eject...only had to replace the firing pin on it. It now has a shortened barrel and polymer pistol grip stock for home defense. I couldn't bear putting a plug in it for hunting as it holds six shells.

Shotgun

My 1 st was a Mossberg 410 bolt action my dad told me he had to take it to a gunsmith to have repairs made just before Xmas
then for Xmas I got a Winchester 37 in 20 ga that I still have today
Dad traded the 410 in on the 20 ga
I think that model 37 is over 40 years old now

 

[hc4sar]

A Winchester mod.37 36in bbl 12ga Long Tom. used. kicked like a mule but it was mine,

 

[HighStrung]

Mossy 500 in 20ga is first I would ever call my own. I remember having a .410 when I was very young, though I have no idea what it was.

 

[cositc]

H&R 10ga single shot.

 

[A_Tomic]

My dad bought me a Mossberg 183ke 410 bolt action with c-lect choke... I thought that was the coolest back then.

 

[Orlando]

12ga. Remington 870. I purchsed it 13 years ago to hunt the whitetail. I didn't have to much luck with that but it is a nice gun.

 

[DanO]

A Winchester "Ranger" pump in 12 Ga. with 28" bbl and interchangeable chokes. I still have the gun and the action is slicker than snot. It now wears a Hastings 22" rifled slug barrel.

I loaned it to a friend with the 28" barrel last year to shoot steel shot and he took ducks and pheasant out west with it. Still a great gun.

 

[PaPa 260]

Ithaca Model 66 Super Single 20 ga. for Christmas in 1965. Killed my first rabbit, quail and deer with it. Plus many more after those. Still have it and use it once in a while. It is light and quick pointing. Will never part with it.
