Winchester Model 9422 my folks gifted me when I graduated from HS in 1973.
Winchester Super-X Model 1, first new shotgun I bought for myself when I was in the army in 1976.
Ruger M77 270 WIN my wife bought me during the first year we were married, 1978.

All three have been, and still are, dependable firearms.


One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
