My first firearm was Winchester 20ga shotgun that I used to get my first hare. I had several centerfire bolt action rifles including those made by: Steyr(1), Sako(1), CZ(2), Heym (1), High Standard (1), Remington (1), BSA (1), Browning (1). My last and only rifle is old Winchester. It highly unlikely I will ever buy another bolt gun.

One my friend told me I should have bought was W.W.Greener .30-06. That one was made for the Englishmen in 1930s by Mauser Werke often called Type A 'African' by collectors. It had rack of express leaf sights but no provision for scope mounting that is why I did not get it.
