What was your first hunting rifle?
Which rifle did you use to harvest your first big game? Do you still have the gun?
My first big game was a spiker white tail that I shot last year. A good friend of mine lent me his Savage 99 TD in 250-3000. It's a neat gun that has been in his family for a long time.

First big game rifle
First one was a Savage 99c .308, purchased it in 1970 for $120. First fall with it I took a 4x4 whitetail. Had it for 13 years. Wish I would have kept the little beauty. Usual stupid reason for selling....thought I needed something,shiny,faster and fancy. What a dumb@ss I was.
