What us your first rimfire gun?

A chipmunk, that thing is going on 25 years old. Cant wait to start my son on it.

One of the early Remington Targetmasters. I and ten brothers and sisters learned how to shoot with that old thing. My younger brother has it. He said he took a turkey with it this past fall.

Got tired of waiting to find a 10/22.....
Picked up a Colt M4 Carbine in 22cal yesterday.
Can't wait to go try it out. I wish I knew someone with some acreage.

I too had a Nylon 66. Great little gun. I now wish I hadn't sold it all those years ago. Perhaps, like you, I'll pick up another one.

It crazy what those guns are going for now. I have seen them well over $300. Lots of guys who now have some cash want to reconnect with their childhood, and many are willing to pay big $ to do it.

A buddy had his stolen, and I wanted to buy him one for his birthday to surprise him. Well, the surprise was on me. $260 for the one just like we used to hunt with. I don't like him THAT much...

Wow. I hadn't considered buying another one until I read this thread. Revisiting my childhood isn't worth that much!

My first 22 too. Crazy accurate.

S&W MP22, I love how close to scale this thing is to it's larger caliber brethren.

I think the Colt is very close to scale as well. Still trying to get out and get a chance to shoot it.

First owned, or first fired? First owned was a Feather AT-22 or TEC-22. Not sure which I bought first. First fired was for sure a Nylon 66.

 

[skeath]

A bolt action .22 rifle, bought at Montgomery Ward about 1935. It was my grandfather's, and the one I learned to shoot on about 1955. I still have it, and it still works. Next week it will be joined by a S&W 15/22.

The first one I bought with my own money was a Marlin Model 60. The first I ever shot, and shot quite a bit, was a old Stevens single shot and a Remington rolling block that my great grandmother would let me shoot. She'd give me and a cousin a Mason jar full of shorts and let us shoot cans from the porch...........The one I spent the most time shooting was a Winchester 72a my dad had and passed to me. Sorry-assed brother borrowed it and lost it at a pawnshop.

My first time I shot a rimfire gun was when I was 10 years old with my dad in east texas and I had so much fun with the Stevens Savage 87H. My dad had that gun until he passed years ago and I have had it for almost 40 years. I finally brought it out of retirement about a year ago and now I am 60 and its just as much fun now except it will be shot many more times before I pass it down to my grandson or grand daughter!!!

Marlin that I still have. was purchased for me in 1975 as a gift from Mom.

Colt Frontier Scout chromed with walnut grips.

 

[toby1]

I learned to shoot using my uncle's Nylon 66. The first .22 I bought was either a Ruger 10/22 or an Erma .22 M1 carbine clone. I don't remember for sure which came first.

Winchester Model 190 almost 50 years ago. Still have it. Still love it

 

[BigTexasOne]

My first was given to me by my father, a Winchester 1909 pump action 22lr. But the first new gun I bought for myself, I bought when I was 14, maybe 15, and I still have it today. A Ruger 10/22 in 1965

Ditto. First new one I bought - from San Angelo K-Mart, 1970. Actual 1st one was a single shot Winchester for $5 from my uncle circa 1956.
