This little turd doesn't fit in with all the beautiful rifles you guys have posted so far but it was my elk slayer.

This was my first rifle, bought from a pawnshop for $300. Before that, I always borrowed one of my dad's rifles.
I didn't find out until a decade later, after killing many elk and deer, that my setup was junky by most people's standards. I thought being able to keep all my shots inside of a paper plate, in various field positions, out to 300 yds, was just dandy.
Since then, I've retired this rifle, spent thousands on better rifles and scopes, and stress all the time about how tight my groups are. Hell, I don't even hunt elk anymore!
I miss the good ol' days when anything inside the paper plate was good and I dropped animals every year!
I love that gun so much
