Lol I have a hard time holding onto a gun I bought yesterday much less my first one

Still have every gun I've ever bought/been given, except 2. I traded a Remington 870 I won in a sporting clays tournament for a bolt-action 10-guage I used for crane hunting. Also had a Winchester 9422 stolen that I'd really like to have back. First deer was taken 30 years ago with my dad's Remington 700 ADL .30-06 and Weaver scope. He still has it and I'll end up with it. My first deer rifle was a Remington 7400 .30-06 given to me for graduation.

Mine is a Remington Model 14 in .30 Rem.

Stolen along with my first shotgun.

my dad has it mine was a 410, then a 30-30 he has both

Still have mine. Remington 700 in 7mm Mag. Still hunt with it.

I saved up and bought my Remington 600 from K Mart for 89.00, in 308 because after all the Field and Stream etc. magazines I had read I decided I could hunt anything in North America with it. My uncle took me to shoot my first doe, his boys had the same gun in 222 and when I touched that thing off he went through the roof!, he thought it was a 222 also…I shot lots of deer with that but it sure kicks since its so light.

My oldest son has mine.
Golden Arms out of California 30-06
He hog hunts with it.

I have mine. Remington 700 in 270win. I also only bought it seven years ago.

Still have mine, marlin 30-30. My parents bought for me when I was 13.

Still have the old Martin 30/30 the kids shoot it now.

Still have the old Marlin 30/30 the kids shoot it now.

I do but I don't use it anymore, it stays in the safe. A pre-64 winny model 70 in .270 manufactured sometime in the 1950s. My Grandfather bought it new right after he graduated college. I probably will hunt with it some when I am older, but I don't right now because I like to run around the woods to much and don't want to mess it up.

I still have mine. Marlin lever action .357. Had it for about 25 years and plan on passing it down.

A Winchester 94 30-30 made in 1965 the year I was born given to me by my dad. Killed my first deer (Doe) when iwas 12. Will be given to my brother when I pass on. He got his first with it seven years later.

I don't have it, but I know where it is, still in the family

still gots my old marlin 30-30... still like hunting with it more than most guns I have ever hunted with

Daddy gave me a Remi 700 in .243 and a marlin 30-30 that I still alternate today. Wouldn't dream of getting rid or either one.

I still own every gun I have ever bought. Cant really think of any good reason not too.

I got a Savage .223 for Christmas when I was 12, then bought a Ruger MKII in .30-06 (killed my first deer with). I have others that I hunt with now but will never part with those.

Remington 222 from the fifties. Dad and Brother used it to kill theirs too.

My first was a Remington Model 722 in .244 Remington. I still have it and use it.

My first was a Remmy 700 in 6mm with a 4x Weaver. Still in the family as I passed it on to my kid brother. He killed his first deer with it at 14 and I never got it back! So I treated myself to a Sako 270 to replace it.

In 1967, when I was 13, I shot at a deer with my .410 with a slug and missed. So Dad decided my brother and I needed "real" deer guns. He bought my brother an M1 Carbine and me a Winchester 94 .30-30. (If I remember correctly, he spent $75 for each of them). I shot a deer with my Winchester that year, and a couple more in the next few years. I got out of hunting for about 30 years and then went again 3 years ago and shot a 7 point buck at my boss's ranch with the same gun. I have several more guns now but the Winchester is still my favorite.
When I was a kid, my dad's deer rifle was a German 8mm Mauser he brought back from Germany after WWII. It was sporterized and the most accurate gun I knew of at that time. After Dad died, my older sister inherited the gun and it's still in the family, and 4 generations have put food on the table with it. I bought one almost exactly like it at a gun show a couple of years ago, hoping it would generate some of the same sorts of memories. I took it hunting a couple of times, but never saw any deer. Then I took my son out for his first deer hunt, and he shot a big fat doe with it. So maybe he'll be adding to this thread one of these days with stories of his "first gun".
