I want to buy my first rifle. I have fired my fathers Anschutz 22lr target models growing up but that is it.
So of coarse my heart wants something "cool" like an AR-15 but my mind tells me to that it is too expensive, I don't have many places close to me that I can shoot it outside, and how could I get a AR-15 without owning a 22 rifle.
So I think a 22 rifle is what I should start with.
I've read that the Marlins are accurate right out of the box and I could get one close to $100 new but I would rather have the Ruger 10/22 because of the customizing options.
So should I get a Ruger 10/22 or go for a tactical looking 22lr such as the Sig or the S&W M&P15-22?
I can get a 10/22 for $200. The S&W I can get for $420. The Sig I am not sure what the price is locally.
