This is my main rifle. An AO M1 Carbine in a Choate fixed stock.
I don't get to shoot it much because I belong to an indoor club that does not allow centerfire rifle. .22lr rifle is okay, so I want to get a practice rifle in .22lr to use at my club.
Its down to two choices. Help me decide...
First choice is a Ruger 10/22, put it in a Choate fixed stock like the one my M1 is in, add a set of peep sights(Tech-Sights) and a Steel Lips mag or two. This will be very close to the M1 in all ways and will cost ~$400.
The other option is to get a S&W M&P15-22 the cost around here is ~$430 w/2 25r mags and a BUIS set. The feel will be a little different but sights will be close and there will be no farting around, just take it out of the box and start "kicking brass" ...
