What to look for in a rifle?

William, i looked up on the Remington that you were torn over and it appears to have some really major issues with jamming and feeding issues... I know im not a gun expert but thank god i can read... aparently alot of people have had problems with the gun jamming alot with a full magazine, and not feeding correctly due to powerder resedue. Another thing that was mentioned was about the saftey being accidentally locked into the fire position so i would take that as not being very safe.. They mentioned the 10/22 and said that it was a much better rifle with minimal issues.

guntrader.com or get a shot gun and shoot slugs.

A Reminton .223 would be a perfect varmit shooter. They are great for coyotes and would probably be great for boars. Plus there are so many accessores you can really trick them out :)

Ok well since the price on the Ruger 10/22 is sooo nice, there really is no reason to not get somethign like that... It looks like its great at 25- 100 yds...
from 25 yds some guy reported that he was putting the bullet through the same hole over and over and over again... Thats gotta be fun for me!

the 17 hmr is a very accurate gun but it dosnt have very much power. itll take down a fox but not too much bigger than that.

From what i read online at other forums and what other reviewers are saying about .22's they say that for shear fun, accuracy, and budget pricing, the 10/22 is the way to go. If i can pick up a used one for a lil under 200 or a brand new one under 300 i think that will be my next purchase after i get my car in order... Maybe i can split the cost with my brother... hmmm

a 22 isnt fun after you have shot a .17 and for about the same money.

I think for real the 10/22 is the best starter rifle for the money right now, alot of ppl are saying that its great and accurate so i guess that would be nice for me
