The first ones were Savage 24 22lr/410, Marlin 39 22lr, and an Ruger MK1 22lr.
First centerfire Wimchester 30-30 trapper, still have it. It was cool but when I was a child my parents had some elderly friends who had a farmhouse and I happened to see an Winchester model 71 he owned that was his hunting rifle. From that day forward the 71 was the most beautiful rifle I ever seen and have always wanted to get one.
