Default Re: What was the first .22 you actually owned?

Glenfield/marlin (from K-Mart) with scope. Wasn't easy enough on the gun to keep the scope sighted in . Dang near sold/traded it a couple of times years back. Got it out about ten years ago, noticed it said LR only on the barrel. Looked at some old ammo, it said, "longs". Hmmmmmmmm. Went and bought some LR's and you know, it doesn't jam like it used to!!!! Gun was smarter than me all along! It has plenty of scars, but sure shot the bottles and cans to death along a dirt road roadditch!! Not a collector's item, worth a ton of money, but it survived alongside me on my horse on many dream hunts, so it has earned its right to stay!
