My dad bought me this 1955 Winchester Model 88 308 Win. for my 16th. birthday in 1968, used, for $125. A lot of money back then. It's pretty much in the same VG condition as it was way back when it was purchased, even the weaver 4X 60-B scope, except for the newer suede sling. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PqWMJk7Q/100-5795.jpg)

Remington 788 in 30-30 bought at Diamond Jim’s Gunshop in Apache Junction Arizona. My grandpa let me choose whatever rifle I wanted from the used rack in the single wide mobile home that doubled as his showroom. A couple rattlesnakes in a terrarium greeted you as you walked in the front door and Hoppes #9 was the dominant fragrance that overtook my senses.
I still have that rifle and it’ll never leave the family since it’s one of my most cherished possessions. Grandpa is long gone but when I shoulder that gun grandpa is right there beside me…

Mine was a Savage 99F 243 in 1959. I put my dad's Weaver K2.5 on it when he upgraded to a K4. I shot a mulie and an antelope with it that year.

A Remington 700 BDL chambered in 30-06 bought at Williams Gun Sight. I saved $300 in paper route money and my uncle chipped in the rest. It was stolen before I shot a deer with it. My first deer rifle to shoot a deer with was Marlin 336 30-30 bought at a local bait and tackle shop that I still have.

Marlin Centennial 336 30-30.
1981. Dad told me if I bought a shotgun, he would get me a rifle.
I've fired 1 shot at a deer with it. My first buck.
