In about 1961, at age 12, I bought a Springfield Model 15, single shot 22 from a school mate who lived in town.
I was a country boy and carried that thing with me all the time. I spent hours chopping weeds down with the rifle with no scope, just open sights.
I had a blast and enjoyed the crap out of it. I offered it to my daughter this summer when she started having ground hog problems around her horse farm.
I hope she teaches her daughter to shoot, and shoot well, so that it will stay in the family.

PS. I paid my buddy his $5 asking price at the time.
