I learned to shoot on my 1942 m91/30. I learned to stop flinching on my CZ452 ultra lux.

My first rifle was the one I learned on. Was my '43 ishevsk.

Learning to shoot with a Mosin is definitely cool!

It was the first rifle for a lot of Red Army recruits also.

The rifle I learned to shoot with was my great uncle's frankensteined .30-06 that was used around the ranch for cattle slaughter time. I was 8 darn thing nearly dislocated my shoulder. The rifle was ugly sights were broken off and it shot so bad you had to be within 5 feet to be accurate as I learned by unintentionally putting a round in the hind quarter of his Spanish Red bull trying to hit a calf from 10 feet. Always hated that bull anyway. From there I went to a ore reasonable Mossberg Mo. 41 bolt action. From there it was various other .22lr rim fires. Then straight back to .30-06 remingtons until I got this blasted case of Mosinitis that I can't shake

I bet that bull just f***in' loved you after that

Why were you trying to whack the calf?

Here is mine,it is a JC Higgins Model 31 my grandpa gave it to me Christmas 1976.
I killed my 1st squirrel with it in 1977.
I sure thought I was cool with that red strap sling that goes into the stock!!

Nice! Marlin 39? I've been looking at those. There were alot at the last gun show. Great rifles but they are pretty expensive.

I see them going for $400+, with the pre crossbolt safety ones, like mine, bringing a premium. If you can find one, get it. They are a delight.
