My first owned gun was a Remington 512 that I got for Christmas the year when I was 9. I still own that gun and it looks like new, refinished twice. It sports a Redfield 3-9 scope.
My first purchased gun was a Ruger Single Six converatable that I traded Dick Riley out of while I was in high school. Dick of Hookset, New Hampshire would later become the President of the NRA. I still have that well worn Ruger and the original holster I bought for it. The belt has shrunk a bit though.
Both 22 RF guns have gone with me over many a fence and rock wall.
Best,
Ed
