Marlin 30-30, was so proud of it!! It was a Christmas present from my parents when i believe around 8 or 9! just got my son a 6arc for his first deer rifle!

Nothing like a R700 in .243 for a first rifle! Rebarreled with a CF .260rem barrel down the road. Got a hankering for handloading and accuracy but still have the feel of my first deer gun.

Older Winchester 94 in 30-30 with a side-mount 4x optic. Sighting it in taught me what scope bite was, but it came through when needed.

Ruger M77 30/06, Bushnell scope. I’ve had it over 40 years, scope still spot on.. killed a lot of deer with that rifle.

Single shot Winchester 20 gauge. Not a rifle and not a good aiming system with just a bead. My first decent deer gun was an old style Ruger m77 in 6mm Rem.

My first deer gun was a Mossberg 500 in 20 gauge. Shot a few with it and passed it on to my brother who also killed his first couple with it. At the time in Indiana shotguns were the only option. I’m glad the state finally came to its senses and opened up center fire rifles.
