It's a 4/10 single shot shotgun.  The year before, I got a 22 Ruger semi automatic.  The year after, a 20 guage.  The following year, a 308 Deer rifle.  I completed the hunters safety course at 10 years old.  When I was going through my mom's stuff last year, I found every fish  and game book starting out in 1975 (when I was 11 until the mid 80's or so)  I remember hunting with that 4/10.   My dad went one way, and I went the other.  This 4 point buck was right in front of me.  I shot with a slug load.  The deer just stood there.  I reloaded and shot again, and he took off.    These guns were at my mom's house when our house burned.  So, I still have them all.  The 22 is 50 years old now.
