Coast to Coast Model 320 single shot bolt action 22LR. Gotta love a gun that absolutely devours absolutely any ammo you can get in it unlike all of these magazine fed prima donna guns.

This is my first gun bought back in 1964, Coast to Coast hardware store for $28. At least half a million rounds through that gun and probably a lot more than that. This is the gun I used to train my young ones and every new shooter that didn't have a gun of their own to shoot. It has a lot of competition on my rifle rack now. Due to a complete brain fart I decided to upgrade it with a scope. After that I couldn't hit beans with it so I stopped shooting it figuring the old gun had lost its MOJO.
I finally got my head unstuck and replaced the iron sights when I at long last realized the problem was I could not keep a scope mount tight and in place. Eyes still old and I will never shoot acorns off trees with it again but this is what it can do on a good day from a rest. It was my fault all the time not the gun. This is the rifle that I literally learned to shoot with.
