Hope I'm not being redundant here. Also, couldn't find a more appropriate area to place this thread. Moderators, please move it if I've messed this up.
First gun I shot was a 1950ish Winchester Model 67a bolt action 22. I was 2 years old. Dad put the finger ring on the bolt because I couldn't grip the bolt tight enough to pull it back to cock.
Folks laid it across a folding canvas camp stool which put it at just about shoulder height for me.
Still in exactly the same shape it was in 55 years ago.
