Got my first rifle! What was your first gun? 6

My grandfather handed down to me my very first rifle! I don't hunt and I don't shoot often but I've always wanted a gun. Well this year my grandfather was downsizing his large firearm collection so when I expressed interest in owning a rifle he told me I could choose one from his stash to call my own.
I chose the 30-30 Winchester 94  It's in pristine condition. He's owned it for quite some time.
I'm pretty stoked to have scored such a nice rifle, I don't have a storage locker for it myself yet so he is keeping it safe for me for the time being but we are going to go out and shoot shit together.

that was my first rifle, it was some commemorative edition, I had a BB gun that looked just like it and the drunken dickhead I got them from also sold the .30-30 and busted the stock of the BB gun over my brother's ass

Well when i was a kid my parents gave me a 22 because i grew up in the country and i could shoot stuff worry free and that was cool. When i grew up though i got a 12 gauge. I prefer shotguns over rifles though.

I have a gun i need to find out if it functions, my grandpa gave me an old 1800s looking muzzle loader that he made himself from a kit like 40 years ago. I cleaned it up but have not shot it as i know nothing about muzzle loaders. Plus it is .45 instead of 50 cal. But i would love to try it its pretty cool

My first rifle was a Crossman Model 6300 spring loaded pellet gun.
I used it so much the barrel became loose so my dad put a gear strap around it lol.

I don't care. I type like I speak. Google 30 aut 6.
For the record it's actually ".30-06" not "30-06" if you want to split hairs.

Why revolvers? I always wondered. It seems heavy, slow, sluggish. Limited bullets too.
Other then not leaving a shell behind, why a revolver???

True, then again most guns won't jam unless you have fired many bullets or don't oil it up.

Well i have a semi auto incase i needed alot of bullets (i doubt i would need more than 6 though) revolvers just feel good in my hand, i like the hammer which alot of semiautos dont have, and revolvers are some pretty sexy guns lol look up ruger gp 100 6inch barrel. Then look up a glock. Plus they have ammo compatibility. I can buy cheaper 38 cal bullets and use them in my 357 or if i need a bigger bullet i can load 357. Also convinent if a store is out of one type of bullet

My second was a s&w 38 special 6 inch barrel revolver. Made me fall in love with revolvers. And they make you feel like a cowboy.

You need a restricted license to get pistols in Canada cuz they're restricted firearms. Lame. I would fucking love love love a glock, I've shot them before while deer hunting, one of the hunters my grandpa knows is a cop and he always brings his service glock. Man I love that fucking gun.

yeah 6/8 shooters (revolvers) teh baddest ... automatics are cool (Beretta - Colt), but the cylinder pistols are the best. their action cannot be had in an automatic...you need more accuracy for a couple of a obvious reasons (ammo, and recoil/action) but because they are so precise...nothing handles like them (older semi-automatics i mean)
oh and i see the 'no-jamming' was mentioned too. 
yeah, old school hardware for precision action, and no flukes.

Nahh i was reccomending it to the guy saying he may get a beretta. Im about to give my current semi auto (a compact 9mm) to my gf because she likes it alot since she has small hands. I think im going to get myself a smith and wesson sd9ve, which is maybe a 250 dollar gun but seems nice and super reliable

My first real rifle was a ruger 10/22 (.22lr)
It's a nice gun but I would just assume sell it if I could get a decent price for it(Which is unlikely ) since .22lr ammo has literally been non-existent for almost 5 years now. It's bullshit how expensive ammo is now, one could easily spend more money on ammo than what the gun is worth in a short amount of time. I've seen 500 round boxes of .22lr go for 300 and more, the state of target shooting has suffered greatly over the past couple of years and I imagine will soon be a thing of the past for most people.

Mine was a good ole Marlin .22
Spent many many hours of my youth walking down the railroad tracks, shooting at the insulators on the wireless telephone poles that lined the track and seeing from how far I could hit 12-ga shotshells I found on the way. A box or three of Winchester Wildcat .22s and my parents wouldn't see me until after sundown.
Good times, thanks for making me remember that!

Would kill to have one of my grandfather's firearms.
He passed in 2012 and I don't think I will being seeing any of them in my possession as my dad and uncle have them and they have practically disowned me.
Also my first was an FN 5.7

My dad gave me his 30-30 Winchester 94 when I was 10 because he got a 30-06. a couple years later I was doing some painting in the summer for fucking $2.50 and hour and I used all the money I saved up to buy a Remington 870 super magnum which I believe is still in his name. Super magnum just means it can take 3.5" shells.
Although the first gun I went hunting with was a .410 shotgun my stepdad owned, we were visiting his family in Missouri and went squirrel hunting. My dumb ass shot at one up in a tree and I didn't have a good grip on the shotgun so it came up and hit me in the nose gave me a bloody nose. But too be fair I was 8 and didn't have any muscle.

Best brush gun IMO. I wouldn't even put a scope on it because the round starts dropping at around 100 yards.
You next rifle should be a .300 win mag. Probably a model 700 doesn't matter the exact model 700 you get. Once you have a 30 30 and a 300 you'll be unstoppable far and near.
My first rifle was a ruger 10-22 I got when I was 6-7. Great 22.

absolutely no they don't ricochet. I mean if you shot them at the water at a low angle or at rocks at a low angle it would probably ricochet. What alot of people don't relieze about shotguns is how fast it loses it's power. Stand 100 yards away from me and I'll shot at you. As long as your not using a slug or buckshot you'll feel something similar to rain hitting you. My point is if you shot a squirrel at 30 yards it's already lost most of it's power by the time it gets to the squirrel and once it hits the object that it would ricochet from takes more power and it still has to make it's way back to you, I don't even think the pellets would have the power to make it back to you. Also when you squirrel hunt they are in the trees, pellets stick into the bark.
You would have a better change of ricocheting while rabbit hunting because they are on the ground running and you usually don't have the processing time to see if there is a smooth rock behind him that could cause the pellets to ricochet.
BTW I shot a punk rabbit this morning for breakfast. Come on biscuits and rabbit gravy.

I ended up with a model 88 winchester .284 lever action. My father won it in a raffle in Texas. Just about the flattest shooting gun there is. Fucker got destroyed when the idiot flooded the basement. It was really suited for open spaces, long distance shots on antelope and such. Not a good choice for Northeastern deer hunting but I did get my buck with it.

sounds good, i was about to go hunting this morning too. I want to hunt deer, squirrel and rabbit all on one go. Basically i plan to go in with a bow for deer, then on the way back look for squirrel and rabbit with my shotgun. my understanding is the rabbits basically hide where you don't want to go (thick brush). Kinda a pain in the ass tho because for deer i need bow, treestand on my back, and would be nice to bring backpack but ill prolly skip that. but then id also need my shotgun because im to scared to just leave that in the truck for someone to breakin and steal, but yah just seems like too much of a load with all that shit. the alternative is to bring a small .22 rifle with hallowpoint shorts, but im worried i won't be able to hit the little bastereds if they are moving fast.
wish i had one of those .410 pistals, those things would be perfect for this

We have rabbit dogs. They run into the bushes(thickets) so you don't have to. Just be careful you don't shoot your dogs. It happens so quick, you have multiple dogs barking then a brown thing runs outta the thicket. You only have a second or maybe two to take your shot. Rookie hunters often don't use that split second to see if it's a rabbit and end up shooting their friends dog. It's sad and it happens all the time. I'd rather miss 1000 rabbits than shoot my dog.
.410 pistol would be fucking terrible for this. It would spread so quick that in the 20 yards the rabbit and 30 years the squirrel is away the pattern would be like 5 feet. So maybe a pellet or two would hit your target, which would be a minor injury to said animal and it would laugh at you while it ran away.
You can easily hit squirrels with a .22. Keep in mind a .22 bullet can continue it's trajectory for I think 2 miles and still have the energy to kill someone. So you need to be in a valley or something like that shooting into another hill. The squirrels won't run they'll set in the tree and look at you. Don't shoot up shoot down at them. So if they are 20 feet up in a tree be 30 feet up the hill from the tree and shoot down at the squirrel. Be sure that nothing is behind the tree you shooting at. nothing even close to it.
The problem with a .22 vs a shotgun is the pellets. I mean rabbits you almost need a shotgun but after you clean the rabbit you must pick 20-30 pellets outta his meat or risk biting into it which fucking hurts. I'd rather go squirrel hunting with a .22. The meat is a little tougher than a rabbit but taste the same without the worry of biting into a pellet. The pellets usually don't go all the way though the animal, like I said before the shotgun loses power so quickly.

I would recommend doing that on private land. Game wardens won't be too kind to you if they stop you and you have multiple guns/weapons on you. They want you to only hunt one thing at a time. They can be some serious dickheads if they want to be. Just a heads up.

My first gun was a 30-30 Marlin. I saved up my money working all summer when I was 14 years old and bought used for a little over $200. It has killed every deer I've shot with it. I haven't cleaned it or shot in at least 15 years now. Disgraceful.

i was actually thinking if i used a .22 that id line my shot up so there was a tree behind the squirrel somewhere so if i miss it hits the tree rather than go 2 miles into nowhere. i guess the risk is ricoshet with the .22 but its hollowpoint subsonic shorts so maybe less likely too. i dunno its tricky because i could miss and hit the tree the squirrels on.
I heard lead can be an issue like with eating game meat, so .22 id want a headshot which could be hard because it would be a youth rifle with no scope. shotgun i have steel ammo, but its a dam 12 gauage which is overkill and like u say id prefer not to pick 100 pellets out of the animal but i dunno so many pro's and cons i should prolly just take something and go, then next time take the other and find out which one works best for me. sucks tho because the closest place is 20mins away, so its a bunch of gas and time just to come home empty handed.
and before someone asks, its youth because i had it from a kid, and i like it because it weighs like 1 lb i can litteraly lift it with my pinky finger easily, with the added bonus that i wouldn't give 2 shits if i dropped it or scratched it. little tricky to get it on my shoulder tho, i basically have to hold it on my cheek instead
shooting from a mountain isn't really an option, i have a hard enough time finding squirrels as it is, to limit myself to a few spots of height i could be sitting there all day. in the city its easy to find them, but these public hunting lands are so hunted out, i think the wildlife just knows to stay away from all those lands.
yah i heard the wardens are assholes but i checked the regulations and it says no problem with taking a bow and gun at the same time. everytime i hunt deer i never see them, everytime i hunt squirrel i never see them. but it always seems like what im NOT hunting i end up seeing, thats why i got this plan to just take both but i think to do it i need a good backpack to mount shit on and some fancy quick disconnect things with rope

My first was a Walther P1. That was during the 2006 election where Martin made the campaign promise to ban handguns if elected. I figured it could be my only chance so rather than a .22 or something practical I got that. The government will probably be taking it away any time now.

and before someone asks, its youth because i had it from a kid, and i like it because it weighs like 1 lb i can litteraly lift it with my pinky finger easily, with the added bonus that i wouldn't give 2 shits if i dropped it or scratched it. little tricky to get it on my shoulder tho, i basically have to hold it on my cheek instead
shooting from a mountain isn't really an option, i have a hard enough time finding squirrels as it is, to limit myself to a few spots of height i could be sitting there all day. in the city its easy to find them, but these public hunting lands are so hunted out, i think the wildlife just knows to stay away from all those lands.
yah i heard the wardens are assholes but i checked the regulations and it says no problem with taking a bow and gun at the same time. everytime i hunt deer i never see them, everytime i hunt squirrel i never see them. but it always seems like what im NOT hunting i end up seeing, thats why i got this plan to just take both but i think to do it i need a good backpack to mount shit on and some fancy quick disconnect things with rope
1. Unless you are shooting at a rather extreme angle to the ground the .22 will not go far before it drops into the dirt and, even if you are shooting at an extreme angle, by the time it starts falling it is just a ballistic pebble with no real inertia.
2. If you shoot a squirrel with a 12 gauge you won't be picking pellets out of a carcass. You will be cleaning pellets. There will be no squirrel.
3. Good fucking luck with that headshot with a tree behind it routine.

British .303 from 1945. Full wooden stock. That was a cool, though heavy, gun. Wish I still had it.

Hell yeah... I had an Enfield .303 I got for $80 at a gun show years back. It was a pre-WWII gun and had been in cosmoline for 50 years... was as accurate as my buddy's AR with a 20" heavy barrel and way more reach. Wish I still had mone, too.

yah if i use the shotgun it'll be with an open choke and ill aim past its head a bit, first couple might destroy them but eventually ill find the sweet spot at least thats the plan anyway, might have to adjust the distance i shoot from too.
most of the land i hunt is really dense so finding a tree behind a squirrel should be pretty easy. i mean its a forest, any tree i just walk an angle around it till something lines up, they are double/tripple plots of 40+ acres behind each other, nothing but tree's, but im basically going to avoid the shots at the top of tree's, ill just wait a little till i see something reasonable.

My first gun was a Thommpson Contender. Its basically a pistol that fires 30-30 rounds. It was a hand me down from my grandfather. It was stolen and I've never seen another in real life.

Keep in mind if your not a seasoned shooter your body will flinch when your body tenses up for the shot. Also many many people who haven't hunted get excited when they are about to shoot a live animal and their body shakes ever so slightly. These suttle movements will make your shot at 30 yards miss at up to a couple feet. Let's say the squirrel your shooting is on a tree 3 feet wide in the middle. If you flinch slightly and you shoot 2 feet off as I said before you'd miss the tree and the bullet is now on a dangerous course. Keep this in mind.
The piece of advice I can give you is this. Squeeze the trigger with the pad of your finger not in between the digits. Many people pull the trigger with the spot in between digits. This causes your shot to goto the right dramiticly. To see this try aiming your pistol with a laser sight at a wall 20 yards away and pull the trigger and watch how far the laser goes to the right. Imagine this at 30 yards now. use the pad of the end of your finger and try the same thing. your shot will be much more accurate.
back to squeezing the trigger. I don't care how fucking seasoned a shooter you are, if you pull a trigger on a rifle your body tenses up no matter what you do. Think if I'm behind you and slam a hammer on the ground. Your eyes will blink whether you like it or not. Same with a gun. So heres the trick that all good hunters use. Squeeze the trigger not pull. As you aim at a target your gun will be moving no matter how steady you are. Every time you move over the target squeeze the trigger a bit more. Who knows when the gun is going to go off but every time you move over the target squeeze the trigger a bit more.....BOOM!!!! Since your body wasn't expecting the gun to go off your body didn't flinch. IF you pull the trigger your body knows when the gun is going to go off and will tense up and move slightly. Put your hands in front of you right now and tense them up...I bet they moved didn't they, same thing if your body is expecting the gun to go off.
So squeeze the trigger a bit more every time you pass over your target...super tiny squeezes. That's why if you watch a hunting show it seems like he aims at the animal for awhile.. he's squeezing the trigger just a tad more every time he moves over the target.
I'm drunk so I don't care if I misspelled words.

Speaking of ricochet- Having seen this video has scared me off from shooting at steel targets.
That is scary, ricocheting bullets can and do happen even when you think you are being safe.

No doubt. There are some powerful handguns out there that are light-weight. Will probably break your wrist but hey x)

I was out in RMNP earlier this year and while on a far off trail I came across a guy carrying a shotgun. I was coming out of a side area right onto the trail he was on, was taken aback by it a bit. Thought he might have been a ranger at first but maybe he wasn't as I learned later people are allowed to carry firearms in national parks.
Just before that I was on this rock outcropping and saw a pretty large blood trail that looked fresh, bears and mountain lions aren't too common there but something had made a kill that day.

As a kid I had access to two separate .22 caliber rifles. One was a super old bolt action Savage, I believe, and the other was a Winchester. All I ever wanted to do back then was read, watch old cartoons, and shoot tin cans. I guess I'm still that way.
When I turned 12 my father gifted me an H&R 20 gauge single shot shotgun. Man, that thing was cool. It was really short. My friends would joke that it looked like something a mob enforcer would have under his jacket despite being that way from the factory. 
I remember being really proud of myself the first time I tried to one-hand it and it worked out just fine.

Both of my parents are actually democrats. I was shooting without adult supervision probably 80% of the time growing up and I NEVER had any issues and never got in trouble for it. It just wasn't a big deal and shouldn't be a big deal now.
My dad grew up on a farm and knew that guns were part of the lifestyle. He also believed in the hunting tradition. He taught me the basics and that was all I needed to stay safe. I pity kids now that can't go out and shoot. It's a tremendously good skill to have as long as you aren't a homicidal nutcase or a dumbass.
