Thread: Thinking about getting a .22

I was thinking about my "toys" earlier and realized that the only .22s or rimfires in general that I own is a .22 mag ruger single six that my Grandfather gave me when I was 11. I really need to get something that my fiance can learn on and I can plink/practice with. She has shot ARs quite a few times and she can hit clays at 100yds all day.... as long as she has a bench, a rest, and a scope. So I'm going to get a .22lr for her to use until she finishes her AR...plus it's a good excuse for me to get one. I just haven't decided on which one to get, 10/22 or a remington 597 ???

how about a bolt gun mmmmmCZ

Good idea!

I have both of the choices you listed.........get the 10/22.

I actually looked at a cz455 22lr/17hmr combo that was around $450, and almost got it, it would be perfect for her to learn on, but I'd really love to have a semi that way I can get some practice getting quicker transitioning between targets. If I really start enjoying the .22, I'll probably end up moving up to a nicer cz bolt gun later, the ones I keep hearing about on here seem to be awesome shooters.

they are come one day when we are at the range and you can try mine

Ok, went to the gun show today, and almost got me a saiga that had already been converted with all the tapco goodies, buttstock, pistol grip, handguards and vfg for $550 but couldn't decide on which caliber..so I just left and went and bought this instead...might still get a CZ later, but this'll do while I'm saving money towards my 6.8 build.

Sweeet!


Who had the Saiga? I want one...lol.

I honestly forget the name of the vendor, but he had about 6 of each caliber in all the cool colors, it was a gunrunners show, first gunrunners show i've been too, but actually a really good show. saiga's unconverted were only $399 and ak74's were about the same.

I want a stock 5.45 Saiga.

I came really close to buying one..but I want to wait till after my wedding before I spend too much.
