I had a savage (some here will remember savage/stevens/fox firearms) single shot bolt action .22. Dad said when I learned to hit every time with that single shot we’d discuss getting another gun with a magazine. lol

That’s what my Dad told me too. The Mossy came with a stock of what looked like raw wood. A couple hundred coats of hand-rubbed linseed oil later it looked (and still does) like it had a plastic finish an inch deep. By hand-rubbed I mean I rubbed the stuff in with my bare hands. No gun has ever had more lavish care than a single-shot .22 in the hands of a 12-year-old boy.
