The first .22 I ever shot was my dad’s Remington 33 single shot. I still have that rifle more than 60 years later, along with his Winchester 94 .30-30 and J. Stevens Springfield 16 gauge side by side shotgun.

The first .22 that I owned was a High Standard Military Citation with a 5-inch bull barrel. Still have that one, too, more than 50 years after receiving it.
