Of all my guns the one that I most attached to is my Stevens model 15 single shot. Ain't worth maybe $100 to anyone else but to me it's priceless. First gun dad ever gave me at age 7...... Everytime I shoot it it just makes me smile and transports me 43yrs into the past and all those memories come alive. Like I said, priceless..... And even at age 50 I can still shoot a banana spider at 30yrds open sights 👍

I've got a Remington 597 in 17 hmr. They were recalled for out of battery detonations. I love that gun. Absolute tack driver, I'll never it get exchanged for a 22 mag. If it blows, it blows

My first, a Stevens double barrel 12 gauge. I bought when I was 16 for 60 bucks at a Globe store on North Shepard drive in north Houston. This was 1969, I was 16

Several, but I guess my Sears Ted Williams .30-30 (based on Winchester 94), Mom and Dad got me back in 1976. My first gun. My first season to go deer hunting. Miss and love you Mom and Dad!

My old Daddy's Remington 1100. About the only thing I have left of him, other than a bunch of memories.

I have not got my Dad's gun's handed down to me yet (which is just fine by me) so I'll have to say my Winchester 120 Ranger 12 ga. that I bought with my confirmation money. I've shot gazillions of birds and deer with that gun.
The gun I love the most is my tang safety Ruger 22-250.

I have several. A couple my father built for me, an old Parker double that belonged to my great grandfather, my grandfather’s old Springfield single shot 12 gauge, and my first gun; an H&R 058 Topper with 20 gauge and 30-30 barrels.

These two Colt SAA, for each of my two grandsons. Hope someday they can pass them down to their grandsons.

My father’s 760 . If the house was burning I would grab that one. All the dents, worn bluing , scratched wood were done by his hands. I miss that man.
