Main rifle my dads family had was an old Monkey Wards bolt action clip fed 22, likely made by Springfield. Grandpa bought it for $11 new if I remember the story right. Lots of squirrels, rabbits as well as hogs and beef fell to that old rifle. My older brother managed to lose the clip in the 70s, really ticked me off that it had made it all that time to be lost by the third generation.
I still have the M94 Marlin 25-20 that they didn't use much, claimed it was too inaccurate. When I got it the bore resembled a sewer pipe and the front sight was half a penny. It's been relined and now carries a Williams 5-D receiver sight. Far from inaccurate now.
