what was your first big rifle?

[casterpollox]

No1 Mk 3 that I bought when I was 16 for $80. Still have it and it won't be going anywhere.

 

[Gylar]

Remmy 700 in 30-06

 

[RobSmith]

Yugo M59/66 SKS.

 

[Murf]

Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 sporter. $29 from Sears around 1960. Gave it to my son a few years ago. He still uses it for hunting. It will group 5 into an inch at 100 yds.

 

[Kilo Charlie]

BSA sporterized No1 Mk III. Also the worst rifle I ever owned.

The first rifle I ever HUNTED with was my Dad's Winchester Model 07 .351 SL.

 

[kimberman]

Browning A bolt .30-06. I still have it it's a good shooter. I

 

[COREY]

Winchester 70 with a laminated stock in 270 Win.

 

[Scott_N]

Remington 700 ADL 30-06 when they had wood stocks and the blind magazine. I still have it, but don't use it as much now as I have a few other big game rifles. I'll probably hang on to it forever because of the sentimental value it has, not to mention can be used for just about everything in North America.

 

[Mr. Friendly]

so envious of you guys that bought the Lee Enfields for so cheap when I'll have to pay 10x as much, if not higher...

 

[shimmer]

My first big rifle was a Kimber 8400 Classic in 270WSM. Lived in Ontario most of my life so my 12Ga. was all I ever needed.

 

[Gatehouse]

I owned a couple of shotguns and a 22 preeviously, but my first big game rifle was a Ruger 77 Mk II stainless, in 7mmRM. It had the old style canoe paddle stock. I still own the rifle, and it still shoots very well.

 

[LondonDave]

Remmington 700 BDL with SPS stock in .270 Win topped with Leupold M8 4x fixed scope. Just bought it used last month and I'm itching to buy other calibres already.
