Although I was raised by Liberals, I have been getting into the whole farm life 'thing', one of which is firearms. We have a shotgun and Jen's grandfather's old deer rifle. The only problem is that the rifle is chambered for an uncommon round -- .35 Remington -- so it is about $2.50 per bang.
A sporting goods chain store was going out of business and firearms and ammo was 10% off.
I looked at .22 rifles but they were a bit wimpy. I am not looking for just a plinking rifle, I want something that can take care of a coyote with a well aimed shot so I went for .22 Magnum.
Picked up this puppy today:
I bought that same rifle in 22LR for my kid a couple year's back. It is a terrific rifle, sturdy, accurate and reliable; a real no-nonsense shooter. You made a good choice. I don't have a rifle in 22 Mag, maybe I need to think about adding one to my locker.
Have you got prairie dogs where you live, cause I'm looking for some shooting acres with a prairie dog population.
