My first .22 from my dad was a 60 stainless from Wally World.
Yeah, when I was younger we'd shoot the caps off of water bottles. Hell that was with open sights, I have no idea how much more accurate we'd have been with a scope.
That's cool as hell. My grandfather was training Marines at that point (I believe). I've got a knife from the other grandfather....it's probably cleaned 1000 deer in his lifetime, that's one of my favorite possessions.
