Mine lives in the safe though.
Don't use any guns from my childhood, onward and upward mostly.

I had a Winchester Model 63 that my dad got brand new for Christmas when he was a boy. That was a great rifle. It was stolen from me in Tyler, TX in 1990. I still have an original Winchester Model 94 that my grandfather won brand new on a punch board in the late 30’s in Flour Bluff, TX when he entered my grandmother’s first name (and he won).
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Remington 511 Scoremaster 22.I got it for Christmas when I was 11, so I've had it for 61 years. I still use it for squirrels and other such critters. I even shot a deer with it once.......long story. It is still one of most accurate rifles I've ever owned of any kind.

My old Ithica 37, 20ga. It was old when I got it at 12yo. The belly of the receiver and rear of the magazine have been worn peuter by my hand. I'm strangely proud of that. Took a squirrel with it last January just to take it for a walk. First in a long time.

The firearm I've had the longest is a Browning B-80. Though probably not my favorite, I do like it.

Western Auto, Revelation .22 magnum, made by Mossberg.
Had it since I was about 5.
It has accounted for more jackrabbits and coyotes than I can remember.
Still shoot it every once in a while.

Colt 1911. Accept no substitutes... unless it's a Les Baer 1911, then accept it.

Mine would have to be a Remington Sportsman 58 my Grandpappy bought me in 1959 when I was 7 years old. Still got it, she's a 20 gauge, have taken many a bird with that shotgun and it's taken some doing to keep her running at times with the leather gas seals and the funky double gas ports that criss cross in the forearm rings. The 58 was the forerunner to the 1100 ... beautiful shotguns you just have to know how to keep them cycling, and I do. My old Ithica 37, 20ga. It was old when I got it at 12yo. The belly of the receiver and rear of the magazine have been worn peuter by my hand. I'm strangely proud of that. Took a squirrel with it last January just to take it for a walk. First in a long time. That would be my second favorite. It is a 1941 Featherlite in 20 and it was my Grandpappy's favorite shotgun. I used-to feel sorry for Dove and Partridge when he was out there with that thing ... or rabbits or squirrels. It has the slam fire mechanism where, as long as you hold the trigger down while full stroking, she'll keep poppin-em-off. I have several M37s now but I've sold most of my collection off. I still have my first gun, a Marlin 336 30-30 I got when I was 8. Killed my first buck at 8 with a 336 in 30-30 and I've still got that rifle. Threads like this one are awesome.
