I don't know what my first rimfire was. It was a bolt action single-shot that my dad bought for me when I was 6 years old. Funny thing about it was that it must have had a bent barrel because every time I fired it the bullet would get stuck in the barrel. Dad finally bought me a Remington Nylon 66 that was a real shooter. That rifle is long gone but a few years ago I bought another one for sentimental reasons and this one is in mint condition.
