    First shotgun.

    Mine was a H&R Topper Jr., 410-3", with the gloss black wood and chrome receiver. That was nearly 50 years ago.

    First ever shotgun was a Mossberg 500E, .410 field - given to me at a young age.

    First shogun I purchased for myself was a 20 gauge H&R Pardner - purchased NIB from a friend for $45.

    Ithaca by SKB model 100, 20ga SXS back in 1967 for $149.00 from Emroe's Sporting Goods. I was 13 years old. I have harvested truck loads of rabbits & quail and a few pheasants and ducks. I still own it and hunt with it. Fastest pointing gun I've ever owned.

    50 years ago. Hard to believe.

    Bay City 16 Ga.break action,27" barrel, modified choke. Inherited from my Grandfather who passed away in 1960. :)

    PS: Sold it at a garage sale in Elkhart,IN when we were moving to South Carolina in November of 1996. I really do miss that gun, and alcohol was definitely a factor!! :alcoholic::n00b:
