I saved my money for 2 years from age 6 to 8. to buy a .22 for 4-h rifle shooting. Dad took me and signed the papers but I paid the old boy behind the counter in wadded up 1$ and 5$ bills. picked up a Made in USSR toz-17, he threw in a box of shells and some ear phones I still have, plus a cleaning kit.
I still have it, had it out after rabbits a month ago.

My first was a single-shot, bolt action J.C. Higgins rifle (actually made by Marlin), ourchased at Sears-Roebuck in Kansas City in 1962. I remember the price; $21, because I had an after-school job and earned every dime. I sold it to a close friend and used the proceeds to purchase my next rifle, a Marlin 39A lever action .22.
