My first shotgun was a Stephen I believe, .410, bolt action with a tube magazine (like a 22), my dad bought me in 1978. It's sitting in the safe. I don't know how many squirrels and doves its killed but enough to feed an army.
The second is a Winchester lever action 22 mag that he bought new in the 60's. I've had the stock refinished and the barrel and receiver re-blued, and it looks like a brand new, much like when he gave it to me.
Third gun he gave me, is a Remington 7400 243. I haven't shot it in a while, but my wife and son have killed quite a few deer with it over the past several years. I'm not sure of the date but it was the first year that the 7400's were released.
