Dad gave me a Marlin Model 81 in around 1976. Still have it, still shoot it.

Two part answer:

1.
Browning Belgian takedown SA-22 my dad bought in Fredericksburg in about 1970 for $99.
Many tens of thousands of rounds through it. At $5 brick every weekend for years on end.
I still have it. Have the original box.
Favorite scar in it is the deep gouge in the stock from where I ran over it with the jeep in about 1978 as a 13 year old.

2.
Beretta 70s 22lr
First gun I bought as an adult in about 1984 at Houston Carters Country on I-10 when I was in grad school.
The $147 was a gargantuan investment. Taught my wife to shoot it while we were dating.
Well used. Well loved. In the original box in the safe 50 feet to my right at the moment.

Rimfire is my first love.
Today I can buy pretty much what I want but the big bore stuff pales in comparison to a simple rimfire.
My current lust is over a Volquartsen rimfire.

Please never let me grow out of my rimfire stage.

I had a single shot .22 from the Speigle Catalogue which cost 12 bucks at age 10. About 1959.

Mine was pretty old already when I got it from Grandpa circa 1959 or 1960. Made between 1919 and 1939. Haven't shot it since 1980, but it was still very accurate.

Deutsche Werke Model 1

1st one I had was a Marlin Model 60. Prefer my Ruger 10/22 these days. I shoot them both...and a few others.

If I remember rightly it was a Winchester model 61 with slide action.

Big Dipper · Mar 5, 2019

Sears Model 41 (mfd by Marlin, their model 101).

Shoots short, long and LR.

No serial number.

My grandfather bought it in the late 60s to slay 13-lined ground squirrels in his garden.

in the UK even (1970)- High Standard Supermatic Citation with all the bells & whistles...…….it didn't help my bullseye shooting so I traded it for a S&W Model 17(?) 4" also .22lr...….which was more fun!

AZ Refugee · Mar 5, 2019

10/22, bought it in 1994 for $139.00 new, still have it, shot a lot of rounds through it the 1st couple of years

Deltaboy1984 · Mar 22, 2019

Revelation 120 age 8. I got my first new 22 at age 14 and it was a Marlin Glenfield 60 .

GoPappy · Mar 23, 2019

Mine was a Remington Nylon 66. I bought it in the mid-60's at a White's Auto Store. Wish I still had it.

baboon · Mar 23, 2019

My first .22 was a Ruger 10/22. I sold it to a buddy when he won a .22 suppressor & didn't have a gun for it. I don't miss or regret selling it, as I figured I had way cooler .22's.

DyeF9 · Apr 19, 2019

My first and only rimfire so far is a Walther P22. Love shooting it, but it only shoots Remington golden bullet. Fine ammo for making the plate go ding ding all day. Planning on remedying the lack of rimfire options in the house soon

gshayd · Apr 23, 2019

Glenfield bolt action purchased in 1975 I still have it. I have lots and lots of .22LR pistols and rifles. Just a few of mine. I am addicted to .22LR and the 10-22.

HKShooter65 · Apr 28, 2019

Browning SA-22

Classic Jonathan Browning at his best.
Bought in 1970 from a little shop by my dad in Fredericksberg.
Shot a brick every weekend. $4.99 at the Mobile station in Harper.
Don't know how many tens of thousands of rounds it's had through it.

Have it.
Have the original black Belgian box.

My roots!

GSG MP5 clone.
It’s a riot to shoot, I love it.

In about 1973-4 our dad let us shoot his Ruger 10/22 which was collectively ours...we refinished it and did a great job for a 7 and 12 yr old couple of boys. My 1st given to me solely was a savage model 24 with 22lr over 20ga in 1978 for my 12th. Still have it of course yet traded the Ruger 22 for a 4bbl carb for my truck back in the 80’s lol.....replaced Ruger with 2 more 10/22’s. 1st 22 rifle I personally bought was a marlin m60 at k-mart in Aberdeen, Md when stationed there for USMC ordnance school...still have all these and some 15+ different 22 rimfire rifles and handguns

My dad gave me his High Standard Double Nine when I flew the coup. Not long after that I bought a 10/22 at Kmart, $100.
