ML Hunter

Mine was an old Winchester Model 94 30-30. The blueing was pretty much worn off on most of the barrel and all of the rest. Bought it to deer hunt and used it for years. One of those guns we sell that we wished we still had.

Remington 788 in 243 win. Bought it for $100 when I was 15. Combination of grass cutting money and paycheck for first job working in a full service gas station 1980. Still have it today. It's killed about 2,000 groundhogs and probably 1,000 crows.

I bought a Ruger Mark I bull barrel around 1981. If I remember, it was around $185.00. Up until then I always inherited or got them as gifts.

Savage .243. I've moved up to a .270 since then. I've shot 30/30, 30.06, .243, 10 gauge slug, 357 mag, black powder, compound bow, recurve, and crossbow. It seems like I only have really good luck with a .270

I’ll play. Ruger M77 in .220 Swift. Back when we actually had a good population of groundhogs to shoot. Today it makes a fine coyote round.

Ruger 10/22 around late 90's. Dont remember how much. I still have it. It's pretty beat up but still shoots good.
Mossberg 835, the old one, rattling forearm and all. Got it to shoot the old black, ass-kicking Winchester Supreme 3.5" out of the Hastings .675. It killed on both ends. In its time, it was king and I kilt a bunch gobblers with that set-up. It was Mossy-Oak Treestand camo and I'd love to have another one just like it if anyone has one to part with, just sayin......

My first gun was an H&R .410 single shot that dad bought for me in 1978 at age 9 for less than $50. First I bought myself was a Remington 12 gauge 870 Express Super Mag for something like $500.
