my very first one I carried in the woods when I was about 13 or so was Winchester Model 94 30-30 lever gun my dad had.
My brother now has the rifle.

I understand that. The amount of money I’ve spent over the years trading and upgrading rifles and shotguns. I suppose I’ve been able to learn what like/wanted in a rifle. Tikka is the answer.Picked up a Weatherby Weathermark 6.5 creedmoor. Able to get a little nicer one since I waited until age 35 to start learning to hunt.
Ugh I hate those peek-a-boo scope mounts. Probably trashed over a dozen sets off used old rifles I've bought.First I ever hunted with was a Remington 742 in 30-06. It had the mandatory 3x9 in see through rings.
First I ever bought was a Ruger in 270. It ended up in a B&C stock and with a Timney before it shot well enough for me to be satisfied.
That was my first deer gun, my first rifle was about 3 years ago. Indiana's limited laws narrowed the decision down to a straight-walled cartridge and I went with the .350 Legend - Ruger Gunsite Scout. Sweet little shooter that is still my go-to when I lay down the bow!Remington 870 20ga with a Simmons 4x32 scope; rifles were not allowed in Indiana at the time (1995). I still have it!
