What was your FIRST shot gun?

Youth 20ga 870, it was amazing. I remember getting my first duck with it at 12 and jumping up to go after it, only to be pulled back by my friends dad.

Tromix Saiga 12. It was really cool but I decided it was also kind of useless for me at least. I sold it and went without a shotgun for many years until picking up a Beretta A300 Ultima a few months back. I guess that's technically my first "real" shotgun.

Savage single shot 20g, gift from a friend so we could go skeet shooting. This was mid 70's.

I kinda had my Dads Browning 16 guage (sweet 16) but I let my brother keep. He has since offered it to me. The first I bought myself was a Benelli 12g Nova to quail hunt in AZ.

I grew up fishing and got into shooting and hunting much later in life. Odd for a Ky boy.

Winchester Ranger 120 in 12g. Had the barrel cut down to 18.5 and the bead sight reattached.

My first shotgun was a Remington 11-87 Premier I won in a drawing when I was 18 back in 2005. It's still my only shotgun, and has served me very well shooting clays. I've had a few other shot guns over the years, but they all ended up being sold.

Mossberg 5500, interestingly enough. Had a 'smitty mill down a model 500 full shoulder pistol grip stock to fit it and it was my poor man's Benelli on a budget for years.
