Have a Rem 513S gifted by Gramps that will see me to the other side. It shoots nearly as well as Gnoahhh's beauty.
I am..........disturbed.

I don't have any pictures of them but the first is a Remington Model 541T with a Burris 3-9x33 Compact scope and the second is a blued Ruger MK II Government Model.

My first rifle was a Marlin 60 which I received on my 5th birthday. My father is not an affectionate man, and it is the only gift that I know of (besides, strangely, Halo) that he got just for me on his own. Great shooter that is never going anywhere.

Mine would be my Dakota 22. It was the 22 I always wanted and it won’t ever leave. Squirrel hunting with it and a Feedom Arms 97 22 is hard to beat!

This old Winchester 67. It was my Dad’s and I learned to shoot with it. Lots of squirrels, rabbits and grouse. A fair number of woodchucks and dispatched many trapped coon, fox and coyote.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I've got too many to pick from, but probably a synthetic stocked 16.25" suppressor-ready CZ 455, which seems to shoot most everything really well and handles pretty good. I've got a Leupold 3-9 rimfire scope on it, and it makes me smile every time I shoot it.

Stainless Single Six "star gun" that I bought new in 1976 weeks after enlisting in the Marines (delayed entry, lol. I could not speak or eat without permission after arriving at Parris Island).
Lots of great shooting and hunting memories wrapped up in that little revolver, over the past 45 years.
The pawl broke at about 35,000 rounds, sometime in the 90s. Other than that it has been perfect!
USMC 0351

Remington Model 33 that was my father's. The only .22 he ever owned, which passed to me upon his death. It's destined for my oldest son, his first grandson, when I go.

PennDog Not too bad given what's available in the magnum round. I’d say that’s not bad at all (especially the Fiochi)!! PennDog

I have two. An early Cooper 57M Classic with a 6X36LR in super low rings, and a 1954 39A with similar vintage Lyman 56MC and sourdough front. My eyes aren’t good enough anymore to really make the 39A shoot, but I will never have it drilled and tapped for scope, wouldn’t be right! OK, three. It doesn’t have the same emotional attachment as the first two, but my silhouette rifle is a forever rifle. A Holeshot Arms RBLP 2500X with Bix n’Andy 2-stage Tacsport trigger and 2-groove Benchmark in a Wooster stock with 25X Leupold on top. There’s no “up” from it.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I have my share of 22s, but If I had to pick one to keep, it would be my Winchester 320.

I'd likely keep my Rem 541 w/ sporter weight barrel over the others I currently have...
