bought a brand new savage 110 (270 win) in 1964 when i was 13 years old, but my employer (the store owner who sold me the rifle) wouldn't let me have it until it was paid for and until i was 14 years old.
the first animal i shot with it was a small 4 point muley. i've shot many animals with it and missed my share, but nothing i ever hit has ever walked away. i've handed it down to my son.
other one is a mossberg model 46b 22lr that my dad bought in 1946. it has shot a truck load of gophers and rabbits and is still in my cabinet.
