Here we have the old and the new. One on the top I inherited. I've had a while but never shot it and I don't think it's really ever been used.
I bought the one on the bottom yesterday. Ended up not getting AR, but I still think this will be sweet and I'll get an AR later. I've never shot much so I'm going to get some training and a lot of range practice. Also looking forward to loading it up with cool stuff, starting with a scope that I'll definitely need.
.22 is a great survival gun. Jugs of 500+ rounds for $20? Yes please.
Yeah, I know how I am too--if I get into guns fully I'd never just want one kind of gun anyway. If I had gotten a .22 AR at some point I'd want a 5.56. Then I'd want a bolt action, or a shotgun, or an AK, or something else anyway. The .22 ARs seem hard to find or marked up right now too. This will be perfect for the start.
Great purchase! Is that a 10/22? You will be very satisfied with it.
Quick suggestion - if you have it in your budget to get yourself an AR, I would recommend getting one ASAP before the left makes them unavailable. If you don't feel comfortable with it, just lock it up in your attic until you change your mind. Better to have it than not. If worst comes to worst, you can always sell it on the black market once it is banned and make a killer profit.
It's a Ruger Precision Rimfire .22WMR, so bolt-action. I just had the bolt out so it would lay down for picture purposes. I had the magazine loaded up too, and I'm still a bit finicky and didn't want to be sitting it around with fully cocked and ready to go. Even though I know the safety is on and they don't just shoot themselves, I just took the bolt out for caution.
I will still have my eye out for an AR pretty soon. They had a S&W 5.56 one I looked at but held off for now. Definitely want to try to get one sooner rather than later.
I'll check it out when the time comes. Always open to look at different things.
Yep, I was all thinking semi-auto at first but for what I really want to do this seemed like it would offer me everything I wanted and perhaps even be geared more towards the type of shooting I'd be most interested in too. Also, still has a ton of the cool factor.
Yes, it's .22 WMR. I don't know a ton about comparing the different types of rounds just yet, but I've seen it down near .20 cents/rd too. I'll just have to see as I go and learn and try different rounds.
