there are about 100 questions to followOriginally Posted by newtothis
1) will you just use it for target or possibly hunting as well
2) will you just be shooting at a range
3) what distance do you think you will be shooting
4) what pistols do you have? (you be able to use your mags depending on answers to above)
5) Budget?
6) Semi, bolt, lever ?
Best bet is always get a nice 22 to start and then build from there.
The best time to buy a gun was 40 years ago, the second best time is today.
Get a 10/22 off the EE here.
Sticking with the majority here .. a good quality .22. Cheap to feed, easy on the shoulder, often more places to shoot it.

Thank you everyone for your replies.
I will use it mostly for target shooting and maybe once in a while for hunting.
Distance I will be shooting may be around 100-200 yards.
I have a shadow 2 and a glock 17 that I use at the range.
budget is close to $2000
I would prefer a semi, but I'm open to possibilities. I would appreciate your help guys
What are you going to hunt?
I'd get a PCC that takes glock 17 mags.
can't go wrong with a 10/22 either...
If you are looking for an accurate rifle for competition and fun at 100 yards. I would recommend a Savage Mark 2 with a heavy barrel. They are alot of fun to shoot and get dime sized group at 50 yards. Very nice rifles.They are also made in Canada.
Heres the exact rifle at Cabelas. They are inexpensive to.

Personally I would recommend, like other a good .22 like a Ruger 10/22. Then move onto something a little bigger (.223 for example) Talk to people at your local range, most guys are more than willing to chat and even let you fire their rifle to get a feel for it. This could help you decide where to go from there. But to start you cant go wrong with a .22.
