The first gun I was ever given was a Savage 220, 20 ga.. It was given to me by my grandaddy who promised it to me when I was 6 or 7 and he let me call it mine when I was about 11. He had not been a hunter or gun person in the time I had known him, only a hard working carpenter and mountain farmer. He was my hero and still is even though he died in 1967. Not nearly the best gun I have, but probably carries the most sentimentality, and I'm sure I have carried it more in my younger years than Granddaddy ever did.
