My first gun
I grew up in south dakota on a farm. I sold a pig when i was eleven and bought a remington model 722 in .257 roberts. I killed my first deer just outside of hill city that fall. I could shoot that rifle like a sniper, just using open sights, and it was perfect for whitetail deer and pronghorn antelope. I had access to some 25 long guns my father owned, model 70 and 71, of much greater value but the 722 was the best.
