Plus if you have to you can make bad guy go bye bye
My high school had a 10-position rifle range in the basement where we fired .22 long rifle....the guns stayed there but I've read on here of people bringing their guns to school. One guy said he had to shoot dinner on the way home from school every night or else the family didn't eat, so starting at age 6 he always carried his rifle.
1st gun my dad bought me as a kid was a semi auto .22 Marlin. Ive owned various guns since then, but that one still really is an old friend. An extension of my arm. l can take the date off a dime with it. I dont know why, but l cant say (or do )the same about the much more inexpensive, higher-tech other guns ive bought over the years.
Just a hunch, when you were a kid you were probably sighting down the side of the barrel and not really giving the sights too much attention, at least that's what I did. When it, as you say, becomes "an extension of your arm", point shooting is danged accurate.
Probably that, l've had it so long and am so used to it that its like second nature when l shoot with it. The other ones ive had or own, im always ajusting the sights, fiddling with different grips etc. Theyre nicer, more stopping power, cooler looking but not the same.This one is like that old ball glove thats formed to your hand and you just know you'll scoop up everything with it, if you know what l mean.
I definitely know what you mean. The M16 I had in basic training was like that; all I had to do was point it in the general vicinity of the target. Which was weird, because it probably had 50,000 rounds through it and had been manhandled by 50 classes of idiots.
Back when guns could be brought to school and used in a proper context. Thats an awesome little rifle.
Im seriously considering picking up a ruger 10/22, Ive had a serious want for one for a while now, or pretty much any .22, the round is cheap and so fun to plink with. Its also an excellent intro into guns for the uninitiated since the recoil is basically non-existent.
I have the standard 10/22 with a Simmons 4x32 scope. It's basically the industry standard unbelievably reliable. I bought it at Dunham's like 10 years ago and the guy who was running the gun counter that day was crosseyed and asked me if I wanted him to bore sight it in. I could hardly keep myself from laughing. But he got it sighted in pretty dang close. And if you ever want a .22 pistol go with a buckmark I've been very happy with mine.
A buddy of mine had a 10/22 with a scope and we chewed the center of a target out with it, a damn near perfectly round hole. Sadly he sold it before I could come up with the money to buy it off him. Dead nuts reliable and accurate as hell.
Ill look into a buckmark, as Ive never heard of it before. I had planned on getting a CZ 75B and getting the .22 conversion slide and barrel that CZ makes for it.
I bought the sig mosquito years ago for a plinker it was basically a P226. It was not an accurate gun at and when you can't plink cause your gun isn't accurate it's not fun. If you buy a .22 pistol for accuracy make sure it has a fixed barrel. With the Ruger Mark IV and the Buckmark the barrels are static. Buckmark has a the best trigger out there
After you shoot the safety is automatically turned back on. So even after you shoot and load a new round you have to turn the safety off. It's kind of annoying but it's a learning gun.
I still have my dad's old .22 that he also brought to school. In NYC. Back when NY was NY not the liberal shithole it's become. I mean yeah, it was corrupt and Democrat run then too but at least they were patriotic criminals. Not the atheist, anti-American scum that commonly gets elected now.
When I was 12 we moved out to the sticks and my father bought me a 22 semi-automatic, holds 19 with one in the chamber. It will go to a grandson one day.
I have my grandfather's Marlin 60 22LR. Great little gun. We use to pick up a brick of ammo on the way to his house and I would have it shot through by the time we left. I estimate I personally put about 8k rounds through it over the year.
So, when I bought my daughter to the homestead on Saturday, I had to bring it and shoot up a brick. That girl put three rounds through the same hole from 10 yards. Yup, it still shoots straight.
We had a shooting club until my sophomore year, that's the year the Feds brought busing to us. They killed the shooting club immediately, we couldn't have one any more. Still had archery tho, but lost the shooting.
We were allowed to use .22s and .410 and 20 gauge shotguns.
1969 was the end of it for us, before then you could see rifles and shotguns in the racks in trucks parked in the school parking lots. We had zero school shoots before then, zero riots; after busing all we did was riot and fight.
DeVos needs to bring back rifle clubs to schools. The major problem is no kids are getting firearms experience so they all think guns are inherently bad.
.22's are awesome super cheap to plink away with.

10/22s are super fun. Ruger 22/45 is another fun shooter. Bonus is that safety, mag release, etc. all same as a 1911.
Our school had a gun club and a hunt club, too. Also archery was part of our regular gym classes. Now they won't even let kids play on a jungle gym.
Nowadays kids can't even play tag
Nice heirloom man. Single shot?
Yup, with automatic safety.
Curious. I’ve never seen or heard of an automatic safety. How does it operate?
After you shoot the safety is automatically turned back on. So even after you shoot and load a new round you have to turn the safety off. It's kind of annoying but it's a learning gun.
That’s a smart feature for a trainer.

Thats so nice, My dream gun is a Winchester rifle
Back when they taught useful life skills, not tranny story time
