I picked up a mossberg 22 plinkster for my son for 109 bucks at wally world. it shoots good and is pretty accurate


Watch out for the one who brings a spoon to a knife fight..he is either really stupid or really good with a spoon. <')))><

the ruger 10/22 is one of the greatest guns ever made and its available at wally world for less than $150. one of the most consistantly accurate guns ever.

Wevans, if you just want to burn some ammo then a semi will do it for you. If you'd like for her to develop some accuracy, the go with a bolt action before you turn her loose with a semi. It might even be cheaper. Either one of the two semi's already mentioned are good, I've had early versions of both. For a short barrel the ruger was surprisingly accurate and the mossberg wasn't to shabby either. If She hasn't already gone through a Hunter Safety Class, you might consider that if She has the time. Classes typically are 4 week nights followed by a range day on Saturday morning. There is also a online version to complete with a test and range day at the end. No cost and She would get lots of good information on different types of firearms, ammo, safety, ethics, laws, wildlife id, etc. It may be Jan before they have another class in Leon though. Make sure you get involved with her.
Swing over to the one on the Parkway before you go home. They carry some.Our Wally world don't even carry ammo, much lesss the guns

Re: WANTED 22 semiautomatic rifle
I probably should just make her use my single shot, lever action for a while before I get her a semi of her on
and I can just take my time looking for one also

Re: WANTED 22 semiautomatic rifle
Thanks to gun control its hard to find a deal these days.. even if you find a deal on the internet you still have to do a FFL transfer and that will set you back $25-$40 unless you do a face to face transaction with a private seller in florida.wevans wrote:I probably should just make her use my single shot, lever action for a while before I get her a semi of her onand I can just take my time looking for one also
