    Check out the Marlin 795. It's a little more accurate out of the box compared to a Ruger and half the price.

    I would also look at the Remington 597.

    Good luck

    .22 rifle? CZ 452/453/455. its the kind of rifle you can own for a lifetime, basically. a little more expensive than a 10/22, but bolt actions save money and are awesome accuracy-wise.

    a 10/22 is a fine choice for a first rifle. a cz 452/455 in .22LR is going to be a keeper. (I own both)

    I think the 10/22 is the better option for a first rifle.

    I second the Marlin 795...was my first rifle, bought at Sail for $180.
    I may not be as good as I once was...but I'm as good once as I ever was

    Don't practise until you get it right...practise until you can't get it wrong

    10/22 all the way. Excellent .22lr that will keep kicking long after you're gone!

    Do you guys have a list of tools to own for firearm maintenance and cleaning? I mean I have regular tools for my house but other than that I don't really know.

    I bought myself a gun cabinet already very tough and bolted to the concrete but what for pistols and ammo? I heard that buying .50 cal ammo box for ammo storing is a good idea and I can put a lock on that one as well. I plane on putting my gun and ammo in different rooms but hidden and locked.

    I don't know what to buy for pistols really.

    Everyone's different but for handguns (and my .22 rifle) I use an aerosol CLP (whatever's cheap and available), rags, qtips, and boresnakes. As long as I clean after each outing, which I do, then I've never needed anything other than a boresnake. A small tool kit should take care of any small repairs that may be required.
