A Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in .30-06, the summer I graduated from high school (1961). I had a little money "left over" after registering for my freshman year of college. As I recall, it cost me $101 and change.
I bought a .30-06 because I had dreams of hunting all kinds of North American game, and I just could not imagine owning more than one "high-powered" rifle. It still resides in my gun safe, and it goes hunting with me somewhere, just about every year.
