I'm only 49, my dad bought the Model 36 in the late 40's so I guess it's over 50. Squirrel with dumplings (I'm a Southerner). I also have a Marlin 22 auto rifle that will group entire mag in one inch rapid fire at 100 yards. My favorite deer rifle is my Browning A Bolt 270 with flat finish and composite stock. Leupold 3X10 50 MM scope. Kill a gnat at 300 yards.

as you may have guessed my identity is tied to my toys - my marlin was my first gun - and remains a sentimental favorite - it is such a comfortable fit - but like i mentioned it was nearly an appendage for many years - i got my 1st shotgun - and h&r - in 6th grade - my dad tricked me - he wanted to pour a concrete driveway - which required that the old gravel one be removed - dad told me that if i pick axed the driveway up he'd get me the h&r - all things considered that is the most and hardest work i've ever done - lol

i like leopold scopes as well - but i think it is a good idea for us folks on the forum here to remember that there are unfriendlies that are looking in on our posts - and so listing our weapons may not be such a good idea - which sux because some of us that believe in the 2nd amendment have cool toys

in may is actually when i turn 50 and i have my present to me already ordered - suffice it to say it makes a big noise and is meant to hit things way down range

i'm a northerner - spring turkey is just around the corner - we are kind of in the hunting/fishing void - nothing in season to hunt - and unsafe ice is still on most lakes - but not enough to fish from - i was last out fishin about 10 days ago - crappies were really hitting - i would think that in another week or so the lakes will clear and the boat can hit the water

this would be a great place to live if it weren't for the damn socialist that run things here in minnesota
