It really is amazing to think of your first rifle being as iconic as it apparently has become. I remember my Dad taking me to Woolworths and asking me which rifle I wanted and I picked out the 10/22 - was the proudest day for me up to that moment. had to be around 1978. I believe I was only allowed to get it after going through the merit badge training at Scout camp. My cousin and I would hunt rabbits and squirrels on his step dads land on Pleasant Lake south of Eveleth. Lots of great memeries. Still use it for Thanksgiving Friday Bunny hunts.
I bought a cheepo folding polymer stock for it about 10 years ago and a super cheap scope. May need to rethink that seeing some of the nice rifles posted here.
