My dad's father was a sometimes-hunter from what I've been told, but I know nothing about any guns he may have owned. Don't know that Mom's dad ever hunted. I do remember a couple of guns that stood behind the door in his and Grandma's one-room apartment late in their lives; I've often wondered what they were and where they went.

My dad owned a Savage 775A which I still have, but he shot a lot of birds with an old H&R single shot .410 that actually belonged to my brother; said it was easier to pack around. He lost sight in one eye in a hunting accident when he was 50 or so and never hunted after that.
