First gun was a Husqvarna (FN action) in 30-06, a 640 low comb job. Hunted the first year with iron sights and lucked into a pretty decent mule deer (5x7) hunting with my Dad and uncle Garth. That hunt hooked me, big time. Got a scope for it next year and got a stock made for it and worked half the summer to pay for it. Gone now, wish I still had that rifle and those two men to hunt with again!
Hunted it for a couple years, shot a few more deer, then sold it off. Took a year off from hunting, then settled down and got back into it the next year. Next rifle was a pushfeed model 70 308 that served me well for several years until it became a 270 and served me better! There have been several dozen guns pass thru the doorway over the years, almost all of them bolt action rifles. Current favourite is a pre 64 270 fwt in a Mcmillan edge, suits me pretty well!
