What was your first rifle?

[GI JOE]

A pump action .22 I still have but can't think of the maker for the life of me and am too lazy to get up and look...

 

[alfahornet]

RRA Ar15 Carbine with heavy 16'' barrel and 2 stage trigger. Still my favored AR.

 

[50bmgshooter]

Ruger M77 in 7mm. 24" stainless barrel

 

[lrwatson]

First Rifle

Mine was a Weatherby Mark XXII, with removable clip mags, not tube-fed, made in Italy. Very pretty, but not the deluxe model which had fancy forend and grip caps. That was about 45 years ago.

 

[huntall50]

A pump action nylon Remington .22, boy I miss that gun. We grew up together!

 

[Colt556]

Marlin Mod 60 Jam o matic!

 

[paddling_man]

The "kids" rifle shared by my brother and I was a Marlin 60. (Colt556 - no jams. )

The first one of my own was a 7mm Model 93 Mauser.

 

[sepe]

vz24 8mm mauser

 

[derrickgoins]

A Marlin Glenfield 25 22lr

 

[Colt556]

The "kids" rifle shared by my brother and I was a Marlin 60. (Colt556 - no jams. )

The first one of my own was a 7mm Model 93 Mauser.

Mine was a 1970 model so maybe that had something to do with it. My 2nd rifle was a Marlin M1 copy and it worked mo betta!

 

[IndyMonkey]

SKS...would be my guess.

 

[rimfire_crazed]

Norinco SKS @21. Followed shortly thereafter by a Ruger 10/22 from Dicks. Recently pulled out the reciept from Galyans. $139.99 - and that was with the steel trigger group. Still have that gun - albeit in Bull barrel / hogue stock / ridiculous scope / bipod format.

 

[rugernut65]

mine was a savage 340e in 222 it downed more groundhogs and coyotes than i can remember plus it killed the biggest yote ive ever gotten 44lb

 

[E'villeGunner]

If we're talking about long guns then a single shot break open .410 was my very first at the ripe young age of 14. My first rifle was a Remington Model 788 in 22-250 cal.

 

[HighStrung]

First I ever shot was a Marlin 60 and it treated me very well, though it was my dads. First rifle ever owned (was given to me) was my SKS. This too has been a great gun for me and I still enjoy shooting it to this day. First rifle I ever purchased, is my 10/22.

 

[whitetrash]

mine was a winchester 22. my father gave it to me at 9yrs old when i compleated 4-h shooting sports. first rifle i bought was a mosin nagant.

 

[AZ Hunter]

Mine was a ruger 10/22.

 

[n9iui]

An M16-A2, handed to me by a Drill Sergeant at the beginning of basic training.

First rifle I bought, if that's what we're going for, was a 1903-A3 I bought a little while after high school.

Sounds like my story, except the first one I bought was a Universal Arms M-1 Carbine. I was stationed at Ft Huachuca AZ much to the chagrin of the local rattlesnakes. I'd give almost anything to have that one back.

 

[Jimbo Kern]

Old-school all metal 10/22.

 

[Dsgnr_81]

M-16 A-2
