Greetings!
Waiting for the PAL... yay...(not really. Waiting is the hardest part).
Shopping in the meantime. Speaking with some folks, it's obvious a .22 rifle should be my first choice for many reasons but mostly price but also to see what I like and dislike about the firearm before blowing a wad (pun intended) on a tacked out anything.
Ruger 10/22 Stainless is my thought for a few reasons:
Out of the box, it's a shooter (sights included unlike the target).
Price is good.
Heavy enough barrel to not cut accuracy so much after heating and to increase cooling.
Anyways, as a n00b, I'm open to any opinions.
Thoughts?
