Even though I have two ARs in the planning stage, an RCO to be ordered this year and another AR to put guts back in.... Whats a good, inexpensive .22lr? Doesn't matter how its loaded but a box mag would be a +

Not looking for anything match grade, just a plinker I can shoot when my AR(s) become to expensive to shoot for a day at the range.

Personally I like the 10/22, papoose, and AR-7 types.

In handguns I like the Beretta Neos, and Rugers, S&W's, and SIGs

+1 for the Ruger 10/22.

yep a 10/22 gets my vote also for mag fed; plus it has a shitload of aftermarket support if you want to throw money into it.

although you may find a marlin model 60 for cheap either the 16shot rifle or 10 shot carbine, they're both real decent shooters in my experience.

Ok so 10/22 is the way to go then. Now just because I can be a cheapskate.... how much do these usually run?

I just bought one for my oldest son for Christmas.  $197 + tax at Academy.

That's the wood stock and blued barrel version... It's $187 at WalMart. The synthetic stock and stainless barrel is $197 at WalMart. I just bought the SS version and it's very light and easy to work with

Cool.  My Wal-Mart was $217 for the wood stock & blued barrel and they didn't have it in stock (for weeks).

OK, youngster. I have a 10/22 you can shoot if you want too.
I wholeheartedly concur with the red necked peckerwoods posting in this thread about the quality and versatility of the 10/22.
It's pretty much a standard for most Okies.

Savage MKII, mine is the FVSR model and its sweet.  Of course, the SWR Spectre and ACOG give it a little bump in the tacticool dept.

I love my GSG (MP5 clone).  I have the GSG-5P (pistol), plan on SBRing it.  Its great with my can, too.

Don't need to. I'm sure I can show you how to shoot yours.
Just like I showed our favorite jarhead how to shoot his 1911.
Sorry, C, I had to bring that up too.

I aint gonna lie dan, you did show me a few things about it. I did notice that when I did the "Self defense" draw and shoot, I did better with that then the casual shots. With my 1911, I just took what I know/learned with the M9 and applied it to my 1911, like reload drills, draw... Things like that. Admitingly, I still have a few things to learn about it and a few things to practice to become more effective with it. Im more at home with a rifle but I love me some 1911... hence why I got it

What Wal-mart you guys seeing these 10/22s at? I haven't seen barely a Daisy or Red rider at the Belle isle walmart or the one on 240 and Shields.

The Walmart on I-35 in Norman sells guns still... Even a Bushy AR15

That's where I got mine at

+1

they'll still special order any rifle listed on their website also; you just print out the item description, take it in and they call when it arrives.

least thats how I got my 10/22; didn't want the carbine version so I special ordered the rifle version

You're not too far off from being really good. I'm not BSing either. I'm speaking from 10s of thousands of rounds out of the dozen or more 1911s I've owned over the years.   More trigger time with a gimped up old fart you know and you'll be DAMN GOOD.

Check out the Academy on NW 63rd and NW Highway.
After you shoot mine of course.

think back to the 22lr shortage, the men that had the foresight to buy it cheap and stock it deep had plenty of ammo, while those that didn't bitched about not being able to find/afford any.

course the same could be said of the 556 and 762.39 & 51 when it was affordable; if I'd of knew then I'd of bought a truck/trailer load of it.

I guess I'm the only one who refuses to board the 10/22 bandwagon.  I have a Remington 597 that I really enjoy shooting.  My little sister has a Savage Model 64 semi-auto that is a great little gun, and a buddy of mine has a Savage Mark II bolt-action that is also a great little .22 rifle.

I lost track of all the other 22s I have. The 10/22s get shot the most.

Well, I personaly like my Savage Mk II FV-SR. I have shot it out to 300 yards accurately and the farthest kill I have is 222 yards on a prairie dog with excelent ballistic results.




Thats the exit wound at 222 yards with CCI Segmented Subsonic 40gr
