...Ruger 10/22, my first long gun. I had been thinking of getting one for awhile. Took a look at one yesterday at the BH, and said WTF (not literally), I'll take it. Just a few minutes of paperwork and I was out the door with it. What a contrast from the legal morass involved with obtaining handguns. I bought a Glock 19 recently, but I only get to visit with it once in awhile. It's being held in protective custody while my local PD determines that I'm not a danger to the citizens of the state of NJ (going on seven weeks now).

 

I chose the R 10/22 because I thought I should have some kind of rifle, and I've read that it's a classic that everyone should own. I got the carbine, because I like its traditional look. I think it will be fun for target shooting, especially when I get around to joining Cherry Ridge. Plus, it could be useful in case of a zombie uprising,as someone noted on another thread, both to keep them at bay and to hunt small game if things get really bad.

 

I hope to get a Mossberg 500 before long, mostly for HD. I'm attending a training session at GFH tomorrow, and I hope to pick one up soon after that. I don't envision myself shooting clays, so I'll probably just shoot it a bit to get comfortable with it, then put it away somewhere.

 

My other two P2P's will go for a Beretta 92A1 and one more handgun still TBD. After that, I think I'll be all set. For awhile.

FYI - u can shoot your 10/22 at BH for the same price as pistol.

Pics?

ruger 10/22 is a great little gun.. every man should own one.. when i get unlazy is that a word lol? i will post pics of my custom as hell ruger 10/22

Yay another 10/22! Here's a tip - get an extended mag release! So worth it!

Congrats!

Check out Tech Sights. Very nice addition to the 10/22. Next on your list should be a big brother, like an AR/AK (style) rifle... join the bandwagon!

+1 on the Tech Sights and the extended mag release. Here are some photos of mine

 

Another +1 on the tech sights. I got the TSR100 and love it. Got the TSR100 version so I could quickly flip between 2 settings and because its slightly lower. It is still fully adjustable, except for elevation you just use the front sight adjustment.

I'm seriously considering getting a set of the Tech Sights. So you would recommend the 100's over the 200's? Does that seem to be the consensus? Was it much of a job to attach them? I'm not one for getting involved with complicated projects, but if it's just a matter of screwing them on, that might not be too bad.

HA! Your purchases are pretty much the same as mine. Ruger 10/22, then a Remington 870 for HD(I was torn between the Mossberg and Remington), Beretta PX4, and THEN my 92fs. I actually have another 92 frame sitting in my safe.

 

My next purchase will most likely be a Browning Buck Mark 22, nice and cheap to practice with.

 

Nice choices, have fun!

BigBlueQ, I've been weighing the Remington 870 against the Mossberg as well. What what into your choosing one over the other?

We can discuss this debate (870 vs Mossy) for days and days. Shoot both, hold both, play with both. That's the best I can tell you. Or you can do what I did and buy all of dem!

A flip of the coin? Seriously, I heard nothing but great things about both of them, but I got swayed by friends who had the Remingtons (not too many had the Mossbergs).

I ended up with this one, with the ghost rings.

Rem Tactical

I'm hoping to get it to the range tomorrow, but with a sick 5 year old out from school (I'm on vacation) I don't see that happening!

Thanks for your reply. That looks really nice. Good luck with it!

I bought the same one last week and will be shooting it for the first time on Saturday.

I like my 10/22, it was my first rifle also. +1 on the extended mag release, and some 10rd eagle or butler creak mags are also handy to have, they are easier to insert and remove from the magwell than the rotary mag that comes with it. Mine came with a tasco scope on it that is fine for .22lr and its a lot of fun to shoot, although I have not shot it in years. Oh and whatever you do.. don't try to take it apart beyond what is reccomended for cleaning or changing the stock, its a pain in the a** to put back together, ask me how I know
