[QUOTE="JoeGloker, post: 4011897, member: 2759"] My first was a Marlin 39A gold trigger for my 5th birthday 1967. Dad also got me a Colt New Frontier.22/.22 mag. when I was 13. My first shotgun was a 16ga single shot. My uncle gave me a Remington 760 in .270 when I was 14 and going out to Meeker Co elk hunting. Still have them all. Wonderfull memories. I was well loved by my family, get tearieyed just thinking of it. Dad and uncles have since passed but oh the memories.! On the elk hunt we were headed west on i70 in a blizzard/ extremely high winds( seven of us in a new Chevy camper special with overhead camper, crowded to say the least ) We stopped at Colby Ks and held the dominoes championship of the world, well the state closed the roads down and what else can you do! Wind was blowing us across two lanes of traffic, talk about puckering up, pinched my uncles new vinyl seats, he was proud of that new truck. We stopped for gas’s on a four-lane highway to fillip with gas and I went inside ( meandering around / will never do that again/ and bought a deck of marked cards so I could hustle my brother) come back outside and the we’re gone. Sit there and waited for what seemed hours and decide to just start walking to Rifle Co down the middle waterway of the interstate, figured they couldn’t miss me if I stayed visible. They got to Rifle and bought groceries, that’s when they realized I was missing. They found me and we headed back to Rifle as I recall. Uncle had them stop at a gun store to buy me some ammo for my new .270 , remember it was Hornady Custom . They parked and as I was getting out the back of the camper to catchup with my dad and uncle, my uncle Bob seen me in his review mirror and thought he would pull a good-one on me and reached down and hit the starter on his truck.
