Remington 600 in 308. Would love to have it back

My first firearm was a Mossberg 500 in 12 ga. that I was given when I was 15. I used it for dove hunting, rabbits, the usual thing. Over the years, I've had four of five of those, and own one today.

When I turned 18, I bought my first rifle, a Marlin 1895G, an 18" 45-70 with a square lever, straight-grip stock and plastic butt-plate. I used it to eliminate any tendency toward flinching, did some target shooting with it, and used it for deer hunting for several years. Once I had a scope on it, but not for long. - I really preferred the open sights on it. I have also owned several 1895's over the years.

Prior to owning firearms, I had a series of pellet rifles. - I still haven't outgrown those things, guess I never will.

Single shot H&R 12. I got it when I was seven and shot it until I was 12. I shot thousands of rounds through it. At one point the barrel split about three inches down the end. I sawed it off and shot bird with it until the hammer spring broke. I shot it with a rubber band to spring the hammer. That shotgun was old when I got it but it was completely worn out when I sold it to a buddy of mine that repaired it and sawed it off about a foot long. I killed truckloads of quail In the Sandhills with that shotgun and even remember killing the first bobwhite any of us had ever seen in our part of the country. I don't miss the gun but I sure miss the good times using it, the family that's passed on, and the great dogs we had.

Break over 410

The first gun I ever bought was a Sako .270. 1979. I spent most of my money I made sacking groceries that summer on it. My Daddy thought I was crazy.

I shot my desert ram with it December a year ago because I didn't want any other rifle in my hand for the most important shot I am likely to ever make.

Single shot Savage 20ga. Got it for Christmas when I was 12 and shot a mallard drake that same day with it. Still in the safe and will be passed to a grandson someday.

Other than BB or pellet guns, my first gun that went bang was a single shot Springfield 22 bolt action.

Ruger 10/22.

BB gun (Red Ryder) was first. After that, either a Stevens 410 single shot or a Stevens 87D 22 rifle. I think the 410 was first, so I could squirrel hunt with my Grandpa.

H&R plainsman 865 bolt action in 22RF. It is a repeater with a flush 9 shot mag. And it came with an extra mag. Still have it.

20 gauge coast to coast pump shotgun, paid my uncle $65 for it back in 1979.

Nickel Desert Eagle 50

Shot it once then sold it lol.

I just bought another one last year just as a keepsake.

First gun was purchased right when I turned 18. Drove to Mesquite to a gun store and bought a Hi Point 995 carbine. Paid $130ish for it.Shot it a few times and accurate as heck. Put it up and never shot it for about 14 years with the mags loaded and everything. Shot it again last year, added a cheap Tru Glo red dot to it because I don't know what happened to the irons on there. Sighted it in at 25 yards. Still love that gun.

Sheridan Silver Streak.

Remington 700 BDL 30.06. Still have it.

Remington 552 Speedmaster...still got it in the safe. Best .22 rifle ever made in my opinion. I've killed more squirrels, rabbits, and birds with that gun than I could count.

Benjamin 22 cal air rifle
Remington 870 Wingmaster - old model with the wonderful wood, fixed modified choke, but did have the vented rib.

1st was a Daisy BB gun.
1st one i paid for was a Ruger .22 pistol
1st one i actually bought was a Ruger Bisely in .41 magnum
1st rifle was a Marlin 1894S in .41 magnum

The first gun I ever shot was Dad's old single shot .22, but the first gun I ever bought with my hard earned money was an S&W Model 53. Some of you may remember it was a .22 centerfire. A .357 necked down to .22 and it was LOUD ! I guess it was a commercial failure, but I sure wish I still had it. Paid $91.14 for it at Highinbotham-Pearlstone in Dallas. I killed many a squirrell and a few rabbits with that gun using the .22 rimfire inserts. And a trainload of snakes. I couldn't afford the .22 Jet ammo, 'cause I was just a kid 16 years old when I got it. Just one more jewel that I let get away !

Used mossberg 12ga. Killed my biggest buck with it.

Mine would have been an AR back when I was 16, I had an ipod touch I had traded for a stripped lower and saved everything I could from working part time to have Brandon from the forum build me an upper.

A Stevens double barrel 20 gauge that was handed down in the family.

Grew up with guns in the house, but the first one that was truly mine is a 1970 Winchester 101 12ga O/U.

Still have it, just isn't as pretty since the day my house burned down in 1997. But, it still shoulders and swings as sweet as the day I got it, so I like to bust some clays with it now and then.

Single shot .22. Still have it and wouldn't sale it for $1000. It is probably worth $50. That gun carries many memories.

Looks a lot like the OP's. I would have to look to see what model, never cared.

I had used family firearms or hand me downs all my life, but when I was 12, Dad gave me a Remington 870 Express Magnum for Christmas. He had won it in a raffle at work. I never could wing shoot with it very well, but I destroyed squirrels with it.

The first firearm I used was a Stevens single shot 20 gauge.

M16A4 (Ft Benning, GA) in 2005
