The 10-22 is surprisingly inexpensive. I’m seeing them new around here for around $230 out the door. Thanks again to all - it seems like the Ruger may be the choice, depending on what my gun shop has hanging around. Like I said earlier, I think I’ll go out tomorrow afternoon and look around

If I were to get a semi-auto, it would be the Ruger 10-22 take down. I recently bought a Ruger American Rimfire as I've always wanted a bolt action rifle. Also, this was my first new fire arm purchase - first one registered as well. I really like it - smooth to operate, feels precise, and is

When I was a teen, I used to plink twigs, smaller in diameter than a .22 bullet, with my Marlin 60. That'd be about as cheap as it gets. Ruger 10/22 is always a safe bet. Buy one used, sell it for breakeven when you get tired of it. If you want top accuracy, $400 should get you a bolt action

Don't have one at the moment, but Ruger 10-22s are well regarded as semi-auto plinkers... -MMM- On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 2:04 PM, Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: > I know some here have .22 caliber rifles they plink with. > > I’m thinking about buying one myself, and would be
