    First Rifle

    I'm looking to buy a first rifle in .22LR and I'm thinking of getting a ruger 10/22. Is it a good choice for a firearm? And since it's in .22LR can I use 25 rounds magazines?

    Also do you know a canadian shop which sells them for decent prices?

    Also which tools should I buy for basic gun maintenance? Is there any special tools required?

    Thanks, Matt

    10/22 are the lego of 22"s. Stocks, accessories up the yazoo. Unfortunately most of it is required to make it shoot....accurately. If what you want is a range toy to do some mag dumps and minute of the target is ok for accuracy, then a 10/22 is the one. Since many guys buy them for this purpose, dont buy one used and expect that someone has not overheated the barrel. I think that $325 is about the going rate for these, they are very popular and typically are not on sale. Have fun.
    A free society must outlaw harming innocent people to function, but when we seek to curtail what all of us can do, rather than holding each of us responsible for what we actually do, we give up on freedom itself.

    The ruger 10/22 is a great fun semi auto .22 - Epps sells the base model for under $350


    I'll be using it against cans, soda bottles, and paper targets.

    Make sure you clean up your mess after shooting.

    Cabelas has them for $319.99

    Yes you can use a 25 round mag heck you can get one that holds 110 rounds. As for special tools all you will be a cleaning kit. A friend of mine has one for goofing around with and has had lots of fun with it. It will be a good first firearm (it is better to use the term firearm vice weapon), but you could spend a few more $$ and get something a little more accurate. Hell you may find that you outgrow the 10/22 and look for bigger and better firearms in the near future. Good luck.

    I'm thinking of buying a S&W MP9 for my first pistol.
