Remington Model 572 .22-caliber rifle
Remington Model 580 .22-caliber with 4x scope
Remington Model 870 20-gauge shotgun

Nothing fancy, but more gun than has been in my house in 15 years.

Next up: securing the guns, finding a local range where my wife can get basic instruction in target shooting and gun safety (she hates it when I try to teach her stuff), zeroing the weapons and finding time to go shooting.

My first gun was a .22 rifle, bolt action.

Until my Dad saw me aiming at birds and not empty soda cans, quickly took it away.

Good starter weapon.

Wear ear protection.
