Daisy BB gun, still have it.
First big kid rifle, I owned, 742 in 30-06, sold it to purchase a Weatherby mark 5 in 300 whby magnum.
I had a Daisy BB gun as well. Replaced the spring with a spring from a Parker ball point pen. Could shoot farther than the other kids in town.

Mine was a Weatherby vanguard 7mm-08 youth, when they came with two different size stocks. Unfortunately sold it like a dumbass when I turned 18 to buy a .300 win mag. Regret it now that I’ve had to buy youth guns for my kiddos when that would have been great to pass down.

Mine was a Winchester 1897 12 gauge. IN was shotgun only when I started hunting about 30 years go but now you can use quite a few different centerfire calibers. I still have that shotgun.

Marlin 336 .35 Rem that was my grandfathers. He died when I was 3, my grandmother gave it to me when I was 14. That was the legal age here at the time.

Took me 40 years to kill a deer with that rifle, broke down and shot a doe on the last day of the late season a few years ago.
