I bought a Savage break action single shot 20 gauge when I was a sophomore in High School. Killed vast numbers of varmints and small game - rabbits, squirrel, coon, possum, a fox or two, probably some nutria. Also bagged some deer and a few feral hogs with it. Later in life I cut the barrel down and made the neatest night-time swamp rabbit gun I've ever had out of it!

Closest thing I have now that gives me similar feelings are two Herter's revolvers - a .44magnum and another in .401 Herter's.
