The one I cherish the most would be my Winchester model 88 chambered in 308. My wife went to a gunshow with me right before our second Christmas together ( married that is ). I had used her fathers' 88, and really liked it. So the only one in the show was a post 64model that was still new, unfired. $415 in 1992, was a lot of money for us just starting out good. She could tell I liked the rifle. I went to the restroom, and when I got out, there she stood with it, and said " Merry Christmas".

I use that rifle on every 1st hunt of the season. I have other 88's in different calibers, and have other nice rifles of varying grades, calibers, and manufacturers, but this 88 from her is the most cherished.
