    Mine was a Winchester 120 Ranger. Had the short, "corncob" fore-end, and the Winchoke system. Had it all through High School, wasn't into guns as much as other things a few years later and sold it. Wish I had that one back, as I have a Winchester 1200 now, and don't like it quite as much. (won't shoot 3" shells) I would buy it back if I ever came across it, or one like it again.

    Ithaca by SKB model 100, 20ga SXS back in 1967 for $149.00 from Emroe's Sporting Goods. I was 13 years old. I have harvested truck loads of rabbits & quail and a few pheasants and ducks. I still own it and hunt with it. Fastest pointing gun I've ever owned.
    He's tellin the truth I reckon, took him to one of me rabbit spots last December and after bout an hour I jumped a rabbit in some tall uncut Alfalfa, I missed the quick jump and he busted it as it crossed the old drive! Good lookin gun!

    My first was a 20 gauge single shot break barrel from New England Firearms. I bought it off a guy I worked with for 50 bucks. I have since cut it down "to be legal within a 1/2 inch" and redid all of the wood on it and now is nothing more than a conversation starter. Fun to shoot but hard to handle.

    First used, Remington 870 property of the Local Police Dept at the time. First owned, Mossberg 500 property of my father until my parents divorce in which it became mine for the keeping.

    Remington 1100 Lt. 20. Still the sweetest shotgun I own, probably because of sentimental value, but I shoot better with that little gun than anything else, and I can shoot it all do with no shoulder fatigue at all. I love that shotgun.
