What was your first shotgun?

[cumminspwrd02]

Mine was a 12 ga 870 Express with a 28 inch barrel. After purchase it now has an extended mag tube and a 20 inch barrel.

Dad gave me his old Winchester model 37 single shot in 16 gauge for my 10th birthday. He followed that up a couple months later with a brand new Savage model 24 with a 20 gauge lower barrel and a .22 mag. upper for Christmas. Darn that was a good year!

Mine was a little Stevens break action 410. Still shoots great. Now my wife likes shooting it when we are throwing clays.

 

[Spyco]

A Remington 870 express in 12G and still have it. Haven't shot clays with it in over 5 years though.

A great thread! Mine was a single shot New England 12gage. I remember that thing used to kick like a mule, but killing a few quail with it made me forget about how hard it kicked. I distinctly remember dad and I going to the department store, and he bought me that gun, and he bought him a new 12ga 870 for a quail hunt with some of our extended family. That is probably going on 25 years ago now, and we both still like to shoot some clay birds with those old guns.

Marlin-Glenfield 778. Came with checkered walnut stock, fits pretty well, I just never picked up the back for it. But it's great with a 39" barrel for Turkey shooting!

Stevens 311 side by side, 20 gauge, two trigger, fixed chokes, Modified and full. The roll stamp was "Wards-Hawthorn". I'll bet a lot here do not remember Wards stores.

 

[warhawk77]

Mossberg 500 12gauge. Still got it and love it.

NEF 12, Santa was cheap and wanted to see how Manley my 12 year old as was. Lol

[Captianbullseye]

And old 870 Wingmaster with most of the blueing wore off!!!

 

[Goodcat]

Bolt action 20 gauge from a pawn shop, fun little piece. Sold years ago, think it was a mossberg

 

[Chumley]

Winchester 101 o/u 20 gauge that was my grandfathers bird gun.

 

[Klbeeks]

Remington 870 express in 410.. wish I still had it!

 

[Colt]

JC Higgins Model 20 that my father gave me in 2003. It is a High-Standard Flite-King pump action made in 1954 re-branded by Sears.

This thread was started more than 5 years ago and is still going strong. Are there any other threads this old that are still active?

 

[Ithaca45]

Stevens 12 ga. pump with adjustable choke. I still have it and it shoots surprisingly well.
