first rifle was an Arisaka type 99 one of my dead grandparents gave me, first "rifle" i ever bought was a Cobray M-11/9 with the carbine upper and removable Zytel stock. It was the bomb, wish i still had it.
I traded my first car, a 1983 buick riviera with no reverse and got about 11 miles to the gallon for a model 70 25-06 that was beat all to heck. I have since taken off the bushnell scope and replaced it with a leupold, and refinished the stock and cold blued the barrel. It looks better than new to me and shoots very tiny groups. I have shot it the least of all my others though because of the rare round. Just got into reloading so she came back out to play last week.
Ithaca Model 49 that my dad picked up used at a garage sale. Shot tens of thousands of rounds through that singleshot, my thumbnail was always worn down to a sore bleeding stump from extracting the spent casings. The front sight was drifted all the way to the left and it still shot to the left, so I learned a lot about 'kentucky windage'.
My next rifle was a brand new remington 581- still have it.
My first rifle was a Savage Model 99 in .308. I still have it and it's in remarkable condition, vintage early 50's production. My father found it for me when I was a teen ager, I've had it for 33 years.
A Daisy Red Ryder air rifle that shot dirt cheap BBs when I was eleven.
When I was fourteen my Grandpa died and left me his Savage model 1903 pump action takedown rimfire that took shorts, longs (remember them ?) and long rifles interchangeably. 24 inch octagon barrel and a seven shot detachable box magazine.
The Daisy just wore out and eventually got tossed. I kept the Savage until sometime in college when I stupidly sold it to buy some food or beer or something. Decades later I found one at a gunshow and I still have that.
I read this thread and interpreted it as meaning high power rifle and answered accordingly. I had a couple of .22's and BB gun long before I had a .308.
I started with the red ryder BB gun at 5, and let me tell ya.....the birds were scared.... but the lever action on that thing was a process back then. Next was the Winchester model 94 30/30.
Marlin 336 in .30-30. Bought it at a pawn shop in Kileen, Tx, for $125. Hide it in my wall locker on Ft. Hood for a year and a half. Never did get caught. That was 25 years ago and I still have it. -- Kernel
Winchester model 250 lever action .22 (rimfire) age 14 (birthday present)
Remington model 600 bolt action .308 Win (centefire) age 16 (gift from my Father for deer hunting)
Not the first guns I ever shot by a long shot, but the first one I got to keep as mine. I still have that Remington.
