Mine was an early 70s Savage Model 24 .22/410. Bought at a pawn shop to be my first gun. Same day my Dad got himself a Savage 99. Both in my safe, never to be parted with, waiting to be passed down to my nephews.

My father bought a Marlin 39A in about 1950 or 51. It’s the one year that had the brass “peanut” on the grip cap. This was the original model 39A, not the Golden version with the shallow rifling. By the mid 50’s, I had kinda sorta inherited the Marlin. I still have it. I have never seen the need to purchase another .22 rifle. Extremely accurate, totally reliable, even when mixing cartridge lengths. I don’t believe a better sporting .22 rifle has ever been made, and durn few as good. When I sell off my gun collection, it will likely be the very last to go.
