Like DiscoRacing, my first shotgun was long, long ago and has been gone almost as long. It was a Sears (High Standard) entry level 20-ga pump. Next was Winchester Model 101 Skeet guns in 12-ga and .410-bore -- kept them about 20-years. Since then, I've picked-up a few comp guns.

Remington 1100, still one of the best

 

[Ted]

My first shotgun was a J. C. Higgins bolt action 20 GA. forty seven years ago when I was thirteen years old. It was the best three shell single shot I ever owned. By the time you racked another shell in the game was far away. One shot kill or you went hungry.

NE .410 single shot still have it and still shoot it

 

[huntinaz]

My first was a 20ga single shot, possibly the same model in the picture. It was ok, I couldn't hit many birds with it. Clays I could do OK. I have a Remington 870 now and it's great. I'm much better with it than I was with that 20ga. I do wish I still had it though.

First Shotgun

In 1954--a 12-ga. H&R bolt-action, and it weighed a ton. Got tired of carying it around Pheasant hunting and traded it in on a Chicago Arms 16-ga. pump--a gun I really liked and kept for many years.

 

[model18]

real old H&R Topper in 12 gauge

 

[Spats McGee]

20 ga H&R single-shot. Looked just like the one in the OP's picture, except that it had some kind of screw-on choke tubes.

 

[jhog1]

My first shot gun was a Christmas present when I was 13 a Mossberg model 500 in 16 Ga.

 

[dmac2572]

Stevens single shot .410. Grandfather gave it to me around the age of 8 and I have since passed it on to my son.

lol, im almost embarrased it was a mossberg bull pup when i turned 18... how mall ninja..ish

 

[Rifleman1776]

Stevens (I think) .410 double barrel. I inherited from my grandfather. Nice looking gun, some engraving on sides. But I hated it. Shot rabbits, saw blood on fur and they kept running. I considered, and still do, the gauge/caliber completely wuthless. Sold and bought a Ted Williams/J.C. Higgins (Sears-Roebuck made by Stevens) double barrel 12 gauge. Kept and shot for many years. I never fit me well and I was never happy with it. After more than 50 years I sold and bought an 870. BTW, I started shooting the .410 about 1950 and bought the 12 ga. about 1955.

My first shotgun was a Benelli supernova, I traded it in on a Benelli M1 Super 90

My First Shotgun

was a Remmy 870 with a Poly choke. That thing would not shoot straight. I once used a friend's Ithaca 16 gauge double. The next pay day, I got a Stevens 311 in 12 gauge and have used that for many years. I also shoot a double 20 gauge but mostly use the old Stevens 12 gauge.

 

[Hawg]

1887 Winchester 12 gauge when I was 11. I used 2/34 modern shells in it all thru my teen years because I didn't know any better. Still have it and it's still in good shape. Can't find a full pic just a logo shot.

 

[LilHog]

My first shotty was a mossberg 500 cruiser with a PG in 20ga, I love that gun.
Since then I got a 870 tactical 20ga and a H&R topper single shot in 20ga.
The mossberg has since lost the PG and I added a stock. I love them all.
