Still have my Browning BL22 - its my all time favorite

It was my second gun. Bought it with my own money when I was 12 yrs old. I’ve shot thousands of rounds through it. Maybe tens of thousands. Actually shot it last weekend with my sons at an EQ “Targeting Spirituality” shooting activity.

First gun was a single shot 20 gauge Savage Stevens shotgun that my dad got me for my 11th birthday. Still have that one too.

No, I'm giving him a new one - a Thompson T/C 22. I'm already a little jealous.
