I have a dilemma.

Ruger 10/22


Ruger Mini-14


Smith & Wesson MP15-22


All 3 are around $400-$600. All are .22lr.

semi-auto, blah blah blah.



If you don't want to read my reasonings skip this part, I can get wordy.

If I had infinite funds and skill I would just buy a HK MR762 rather than starting with the S&W .22. I would also get a left hand action R700 in .408 as well. I love the geekiness of that round. I run into that no one makes one... but whatever...

I like the conventional magazine of the Mini-14, but the 10/22 looks a little bit simpler, and a little more optics ready. And I like optics, I enjoy a good look at the groupings of glass in lens patents...

I am getting .22lr because its cheap and I don't hunt. Firearms are fascinating to me though, and the challenge of target shooting for me is enticing. I am sure I will step up to larger calibers eventually.

It's such a difficult choice.

And I don't want to immediately regret this decision.

 

Get the one that can kill the most zombies in the least amount of time.

 

Just get the 10/22 - it's reliable, accurate, fun, cheap. You can mod the crap out of it too.

 

My bro just bought the S&W model, and is all excited. Seemed very plasticky and cheap honestly. I would get the 10/22 ruger, like Chris said. Ive had one for years, its my chipmuck slayer...

 

10/22.

You can spend nothing on it, or spend $5K on it.

Either way it will work forever and fire anything you throw at it.

When you are ready to move up, buy the AR15 style, but in .223 obviously...

 

i suggest blaser r93 lrs2

 

whats the first cheap scope on there? I see you now have a Nightforce?

First pic also has the Harris BR bipod, second pic has much better feet. For the larger rifles, a solid, flat stable platform is far better.

Slight different to a 10/22 tho no?

 

slightly

i love that elkan digital hunter scope they had in that predator film personally.

 

Jeg bemærkede lige dit danske, kan du ikke have så rart rifler!

 

jeg bor i Texas, jeg kan have noget jeg venligst
