SpaceCadetBlaine_I think my aunts getting me a Winchester lever-action rifle reproduction of some sort.
Fantastic. I got one as a gift about 3 years ago and I never go to the range without it. Of all the guns I own, my Winchester is easily the most fun and enjoyable. I personally don't like .22 caliber guns of any sort so I have a larger Winchester.
You may get the .22 version, which is one of the more popular reproduction models these days. I think you are likely to have the time of your life shooting that gun.
My first ever lever-action rifle was the Henry Repeating Arms Golden-Boy .22 Magnum at 11 years old.
Its a great little gun but I asked for a large caliber magnum rifle. My guess is I'll be getting a .45-70, .357, or .44 Magnum rifle.
