Well years a go when my grandad passed my cousin made off with the 1906 Winchester. I ended up with the 12 ga Iver Johnson Champion single shot. All ways wanted a decent 1906 ,but one that would shoot 22 LR. Grandpas would only shoot shorts. Found one for $225 a few years back that looked rough but had a perfect bore, it sits in the corner of the entry way ready to go. I live in the country where we take care of whatever business we need to.

Mine is a Jap 99 . A friend gave it to me . He had never shot it . Some one had turned the barrel back and chambered it to 300sav. I checked it and it had headspace so it became a 308 win.
It shot very well with jacket or cast loads .I eventually put a scope on it even . It is lite and just a fun gun .

I have a Universal double 20ga. Yeah, I know, what's a Universal? It was made in Spain back in the 60's is all I know. I bought it when a local drug store was going out of business. Back then, before gun control was invented, a lot of stores sold guns. It's a cheap gun. I paid about $75 IIRC. The stock broke years ago and I fiberglassed it back together. The reason I like it is because it fits me so well. I've shot other doubles and most are too straight. I have a long neck and I can't get down on them which makes me shoot high. This one has more drop to the stock and I can shoot it fine. I wish I could afford a quality gun made to the same dimensions.
I haven't hunted with it in a long time but it stays handy in the house with loads of buckshot inside. A double is a good self defense gun. Besides being fast to reload, a bad guy gets intimidated when looking down into 2 big black holes pointed at his chest. I have the same gun. I bought it a Meijers in the early 70's still in fine shape! My BIL bought one at the same time I did. They had 2 on the shelf. Mine is choked IC/M and his is M/F. We've patterned them and there really isn't much difference. His is in much better shape than mine but mine has had a lot more hard use.

This little Thompson contender stays with me in my truck. It’s a .22lr with a Leopold 2-7 and Burris rings. ![[Linked Image]](http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b307/cartod/Outdoors/5DDA7C2E-A95D-4D94-88D8-BEB195C5808C_zps2ndujtbi.jpeg)

FEG PA63...For those not familiar with it. It’s a Hungarian copy of the Walther PP and is chambered in 9mm Makarov. I got it years ago for (iirc) less than $150. There are some better than others and mine is a beauty. Never a fail to function and more accurate than a pocket pistol needs or can be expected to be. Since my brother appropriated my SP 101 it’s been the reason I don’t get another snubby revolver.

Have a few. Got an Israeli made Timberwolf in 357 a few years ago. Friend of friend had it. Got it at cost about 25 yrs ago for doing some work for a guy. Shot it 20 rounds and put it in his safe for 18 years. Sold it to me for $210 with 5 boxes of ammo minus the 20. All sorts of fun to play with. Last I saw was one over $1k on gunbroker. It won't leave. Quite a few yrs ago I went to a guys house with another friend. He sold me a Rem rolling block, a semi auto 22 made by High Standard and a Savage 24 in 22 mag over 410 for $400. The 24 is my front door gun if any creature like skunks wanders close. The roller is broken down and polished for a build. The 22 is with the other 22s for when I want to play with it.

I have a Savage striker 10 inch barrel handgun in 17 HMR w/ a Bushnell 2-6x32 which is a bit out of the ordinary. I enjoy it quite a bit.
Also there is a Springfield 03 in the safe. A1? I don't know for sure. It was my wife's Dad's deer rifle and is still 30-06. The stock has been bubba cut, I think. Possibly replaced with something very crude, but functional.
It still has the ladder sight, and I can shoot it pretty darn well. It will hit minute of watermelon, personal size, out to 300 yds with LC 67 FMJ from prone.
There is no doubt in my mind that our doughboys had the best target rifle in the world when they headed overseas.
Might possibly shoot a Rem 14 in 30 Rem a bit if brass were not unobtanium.

My Mossberg 500 has done it all. I have made a lot of great memories with that shotgun.

Stevens 311; 16 Ga. gifted by a silly nephew because the barrel was badly pitted he said. I discovered that pitted barrels can be restored to as new condition with Hoppes #9. I show it to uninvited or unwelcome guests, mostly after nightfall. It impresses them without exception.
I am..........disturbed.

I was doing a little post season scouting/walkabout yesterday and took my old H&R 20ga single shot just in case I saw a something that needed shooting. That little 20ga only weighs 5lbs or so, is not in the best of cosmetic shape and is the least valuable gun I own, but sees a good number of days out every year. I use for rabbits, squirrels, grouse and have shot a couple of coyotes with it. It seems to go along because its so light and can do so many things.
Anybody have a cheap gun they find surprisingly useful? I remember those shotguns being on the rack in the gun store where I worked during the 1980s. They always intrigued me because they seemed well made and were always for sale for less than $100.00.
