Favorite older gun

This doesn’t include ARs or AKs or modern rifles or shotguns. What’s your favorite old and I’ll say older cause my old may offend some people lol! Mine would be my Remington 514 or Ithaca model 66 which is sort of mine It’s mine but won’t be in my possession till my dad says so. Also the Belgium made Browning 16ga A-5 my grandpa gave me.

old 12 gauge double my dad gave me years ago

Winchester model 37 single barrel 30 in full choke. Bought when I was 12 for 35 dollars. Killed somewhere between 75 -100 foxes with it in the mid-late 70's. Used to set and watch a den or had a cassette player and burnahm bros grey fox pup. Deadly back in the day !!!!!

Gem. Model 98 8x57

50/70 Remington rolling block carbine.

Got my dads single 6 that he paid 60 bucks for

Winchester Model 71 in 348WCF.

I have several Ithacas that were dad’s that i will keep. He had a 66 20 gauge that was stamped .410. I think thats one of the reasons he always kept that one.

Probably my grandpas Remington 7600 chambered in 30-06.

1948 Winchester 94 ..30-30

1949 Remington 513S Sport .22 Bolt

I have a lot of older guns by my favorite for deer is a mid-60's Remington Model 600 in 6mm. Killed so many deer with it I have lost track.

Moosetrot

1914 Remington autoloading, Moms rifle. Will eventually put a barrel liner in it and rechamber to .22LR. as ammo is impossible to find other than a few antique rounds @ $12.00 each. I watched her father, my Granddad strike kitchen matches at ten paces with that old gun.

Geha 12 gauge bolt, anyone the backstory.

Some very nice guns!

probably my mid 60s 742

a rifle that handles and points like a shotgun

Belgium A-5 Browning

Like you style!

Winchester model 94 made in 1911. Slick smooth action, delightful trigger pull, pretty good sights. Was my wife's grandfathers's. He emigrated from Finland as a child, owned a small farm in northern Minnesota. It was his one and only gun.

I'd Love to see it

My Favorite is my 600 Mohawk Rem. Chambered in .243 Rem.

I like a lot of older guns but I'd LOVE to own this set right here...

I have a soft spot for SMLE #4 rifles. My first high power rifle.

Remington model 14 1/2 chambered in 38/40

M1 Garand

I have two...My father's Model 12 Winchester in 16 gauge which will be passed down as well as my first shotgun a Stevens .410 single shot..the .410 was a birthday gift from my parents when I turned 10.

My 1958 savage 99f, in 300 savage. It's light, fast, deadly and a thing of beauty.

1897 winchester

Marlin 1894 .25-20 that was my great grampa's that I sit on a deer stand with once or twice a year and a model 14 Remington in .25 Remington Express that was made in 1913...d2

1957 Winchester Model 42 pump .410.

Dad's H&R revolver that he bought in the mid fifties. That gun has killed thousands of critters. That's the gun he carried when working for the State of Virginia in 60's trapping foxes for rabies control, as well as just about all his trapping expeditions. I had it reblued, because it was showing signs of rust here and there. It's now my Trapline gun.

Savage 99 .308 with Lyman peep (50s or 60s)
Remington model 11 sportsman 16 gauge, 1940s
HR topper 58 20 gauge

Hand me downs except for the ruger

Yep, they were built on 98 Mauser actions from military surplus actions. I actually just found a really nice stock for one in my junk.

Remington Model 512
Winchester Model 88 Carbine in .308
Winchester Model 88 in .243
Winchester Model 100 in .284
Remington 700 BDL in 7mm Mag

All of my dad’s guns are my favorites. If I had to pick one I guess it would be his pre-64 Winchester in 30-06. He killed elk, moose and bear with that gun from Alaska to Newfoundland and from the Rockies to the east coast.

He killed dozens of deer and hundreds and of ground hogs with it here in PA.

I’m doing my best to carry on the tradition with that old rifle.

Second favorite would be dad’s old Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. Dad bought it new in 1953 and killed his first buck with it that same year. I killed my first buck with it and my daughter killed her first buck with it. Hopefully my granddaughter carries on that tradition next year when she turns twelve.

Ansley H. Fox "A" Grade 12 bore built in 1911. 30 inch barrels choked IC and light mod.

Early 1950's 870 Wingmaster pump 16 gauge that I inherited from my Dad. He bought the shotgun right after returning from the Korean War.

Chris

Got a Winchester Model 12,,16gauge when I was 9 years old(53 years ago).Killed pretty much everything with that gun.Rabitts,ducks,geese,partridge,,squirrels and deer.My older son has it now,,and will pass it down to one of his sons.

The most mysterious gun I inherited from my dad is an old Lovell Champion manufactured in the early 1900s as far as I can tell. I found it leaning in a corner of an out building when I was going through his stuff after he had passed away. I’m pretty sure it belong to my grandfather but I was never told anything about this gun and really don’t know anything about it.

Information about them is hard to find. If anybody knows anything about, or has any sources of information on a single shot Lovell Champion, 12 gauge hammer gun, I would appreciate it.

Rem model 31. 16 ga.


Dan

300 savage model 99. It was made in 1940, the same year I was born. Was my dad's

I have and have had MANY older pre '64 guns but if I had to pick one that means the most to me it would be the old H&R model 999 Sportsman.

Like Paul, this one belonged to my dad and is my favorite trapline revolver. I have used it as such for the past 60 years or so and it is the first handgun I ever shot when I was 7 years old.

Marlin 60 stamped "Revelation" Western Auto. From the early 1960's. It is a very accurate shooter.

Model 97 Winchester.

12 ga Stevens pump. Ma bought it for dad in 57' same year I was born. A truck can't haul everything that gun has killed. Still shoots as well today as when it was new. Full choke that shoots a very tight pattern. Besides all the game it has killed, it has won many many many lbs. of meat at turkey shoots also.

Need to add to this , basically all my guns !!!
1 Model 37 single barrel (got when I was 12)
2. 700 BDL 6mm (got when I was 14)
3. rem 870 wingmaster (bought new in box for $100 when I was 13)
4. rem 788 222 cal ( got when I was 14)

EVERY one of these were bought and paid for from fur money. Had 4 11/2 northwoods coil springs I would check before school. But most of my fox I got from watching dens or calling early mornings. WALKED EVERYWHERE !!

First year I killed 13 gray foxes and got ave 30 bucks each. Next 3 years I killed over 50 foxes. 58 the year they went to 53 bucks each. For a 15 year old I WAS RICH !!! 1978 plus it was cash money from local buyer !!!!

I believe the name ranger chief was used by Sears Roebuck & Company. I think they are Old Model Stevens Model 311. Try google images and see if it looks like what you got.

My .243 Remington Mohawk

All very nice guns

Savage double barrel 12 gauge
