When I was 14, my Dad bought me a Remington 788 243 with a Weaver K4 scope on it for getting all A's and B's on my report card. I still have all of those guns. How about you guys?

I can't remember which guns actually came first. I got four in a short space. My Uncle gave me an old Marlin pump shotgun, which I still have. 12 gauge. My Dad bought me a Winchester model 270 .22 pump. My Grandma gave me my Grandpa's model 12 Remington pump .22. Just a short while later, my Dad got me a Browning model 2000 shotgun. I cannot recall which of the first two came first.

I bought my first big game rifle, a Remington 788 with a Tasco 4x scope installed. .308.

I also bought my first pistol, a H&R .22 nine-shooter.
