First gun I hunted with was my father's Ithaca 16 gauge sxs with slugs.
The first rifle that was my own was a Savage 99 featherweight takedown 30-30. Made in 1923, given to my father about 1937, he gave it to me in 1973, still have it.
His first deer rifle before the Savage was a Colt Lightning in 38/40!
