Yes you should be offendedI figuratively grew up with firearms. I didn't see a poll item for that. I think I'm supposed to be offended.
I grew up in a logging family in Montana. I would go up and hunt grouse with a single shot 22 and a 20ga from 10 on...out in the woods by myself. Thought nothing of it. Also learned to drive up there. Could drive the old green 62 Chevy pickup at 12. My Uncle used to have me drive the logging roads in reverse using mirrors too. Learned how to drive skidding Cats also. Great times and a good time to be alive.

I have to go to the range today and shoot my 10/22 "Assault" weapon LOL
I'm not sure my uncle has it. I'll have to ask him. The 20ga was my Champion which is now a 16ga.Huntin' grouse with a .22 doesn't sound like a bad idea....
amusicman2 - Was it a Stevens Crackshot?
Hey, forgot to ask, how's that Champion working out for you now?I'm not sure my uncle has it. I'll have to ask him. The 20ga was my Champion which is now a 16ga.
Great just like it should. Haven't gotten a mole yet but haven't sat around in the yard to much either.Hey, forgot to ask, how's that Champion working out for you now?[/QUOTE
Looking back through the thread and ran across this post.I had my first full time job at 17 and bought my first firearm from a local pawn shop at as soon as I turned age 18. Remington Model 31TC....I shot rabbits, ducks, doves, and clays for many years with that first shotgun. Now with some sentimentality I wish I hadn't sold it... your first is special!
Looking back through the thread and ran across this post.
I find it interesting that, as we grow more "knowledgeable" about firearms and hunting, how we gain a stock pile of specialty guns ("the elk rifle", "the duck gun", etc.), but way back when, when we got that first gun, we inevitably used it for EVERYTHING.
It was like a buddy we could rely on time and time again. No matter the situation, yer buddy was there to help you out.
Funny how we move away from that after a while, only to eventually figure out we were doing just fine, just how we were...and for those who always stuck with that first gun and only that first gun (maybe adding to it, but never replacing it), my hat's off to you for having the incredible foresight to know you were right in the first place.
We should all be so wise.
...anyway, apologies for the derail. Just felt it needed to be posted.
Now back to the thread.....
Please teach that young lady to get her left thumb out of the way before she gets it bitten.Lol welcome @Melmelhunter .
I know you
...and now I've learned something....never knew H&R made an O/U.
Please teach that young lady to get her left thumb out of the way before she gets it bitter.
I was shocked when I found it in the store way back then. And it didn't look like the single shot H&R quality, nor their revolvers. I don't know where they had them made, but it was a surprisingly nice shotgun!
