A marlin 30-30. It belonged to my husband, and he gave it to me after he upgraded to a BAR 7mm.

I've only been at this gun ownership thing for about 7 years, and I've had to work hard to make up for lost time!

It was a savage model 24 ...the 22 barrel over the 20 gauge barrel.

303 Savage that my grandfather gave my father. Now my brother has it - as he was a boy and the oldest. Sure wish I still had that gun - just because it meant something to me - not sure it means much to my brother.

The first gun I ever shot was a Remington pump action .22. The first gun that I owned myself (Dad gave it to me for my 12th B'day) was an AK-47, complete with 2 drum clips and about 10 30 rounders. I still have that gun today...well O.K. that one and 3 other AK's, but the one Dad gave me will always be special.

He bought it for me because it had a short stock, low recoil and was a decent enough round for deer. (or so he says), guess he never realized what he was starting.

A family friend gave me a Hopkins and Allen .22 single shot the summer that I was 8 years old. Still have it, too.
