.22's are all the same.... Good for teaching youngsters but at the end of the day it's just a .22.... I have a ruger 10/22 and you blast our 10 shots so fast it gets boring quick if you are just target shooting. .22's are like the 3.0's of the ranger world. easy, reliable but nothing fancy.
What's everyone's favorite gun they have? Mine would be my SD40VE. Had a lot of guns that I wish I still had like my old ruger .44 magnum super Blackhawk.... That gun was just too much gun for anything practical so I ended up trading it. Wish I wouldn't have ever traded it now but I think the value was shot since one of the previous owners used a Dremel or engraver to write his own serial number into the frame. DUMBASS gun owners should not engrave stuff on nice guns. The story I was told was that the previous owner was a cop and that was his badge number. It was still engraved crapily and right on the frame... Still makes my blood boil.
Haha that makes me think of 2 more questions....
What gun do regret parting with most?
Whats the worst thing you have seen done to a gun?
That engraving story is pretty bad lol
I had a 1911 I regret selling...but growing up shooting glocks, couldnt get used to the darn thing, took a box of ammo before I could hit anything. It wasn't the gun because my 1911 toting buddy was deadly w/ it.
My favorite gun besides the marlin .22 bolt action is my old single action revolver ruger vaquero in .357
Its sleek and sexy, fixed sights make it draw quick, carry nice, and take a drop.
it is also very accurate, and solid! My double action taurus tracker in .357 weighs less even though it holds one more round as a 7 shot!
Im a big fan of .357, mainly due to its versatility,abundance, power, and shooting even cheaper and more abundant .38 all day! (which saves the top strap, and your wrist as well)
My vet buddys set down their crazy tactical weapons and fought over who gets to shoot my cowboy revolver again! Quickdraws out of the holster and hip shots had them schoolgirl giddy! All that military training and no cowboy skills tsk tsk lol
10/22's especially in stock form, can be boring. I think its the gun not the caliber.
Lever/bolt actions seem to make .22 more fun. I think having to do something besides just repeatedly pull the trigger makes it more satisfying to shoot, and saves ammo! Same w single action revolvers, more fun/less ammo.
