Good Morning Cooper,
Your nostalgia is showing....and it is good.
My first .22 is a Mossberg 151 M (b) semi- auto. I still have it. Albeit, i have not shot in in several years.
I have several NIB rimfires that are to be shot also, as I am outta control.
However, along with the many Annie's- Kimbers -etc, I still shoot the "boys" rifles and have a great appreciation for them.
The Winchester "boys" rifles especially. The 69's , 72's, 74's, 75's ( can't really call the 75's boys rifles) there are others. Including the pumps and 63's....all
good.
I never punched as much paper as you have....and that is somewhat regrettable. My target shooting is generally relagated to sighting in.
Although, I belong to 2 ranges and have the ability to shoot a bit at home. I guess I am always ready to grab another rifle or pistol, and move on.
Lately, I have been shooting a Colt Anaconda Realtree .......which is not a rimfire.
Maybe, time to dig out the Mossberg.
Best,
Chuck
