My first real gun (not a BB gun) was a Ranger .22 lr pump - just like the ones in the old shooting galleries. I think it was sold by Sears or Monkey Wards. It's a copy of or made by Winchester (I need to research this). I got this rifle from my dad when I was about 12 or 13 years old. It had been his rifle. I practiced with it a lot and was quite the shooter. I hunted squirrels and rabbits with it many times. It's now collecting dust in my gun safe as it became worn and loose - would fire with the chamber partially open. Then the firing pin became worn and it wouldn't fire reliably. I was told by gunsmiths that it wasn't worth fixing but I'm thinking now maybe it would be a good future project...
