slugshooter Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I was in Wally World today and came real close to buying a .22, probably the only thing that saved me from a new gun and an earful from the fiance when she got home was the fact that NICS was down for scheduled maintence. Anyhoo, if you had to choose between the 2 I looked at which would you choose, one was a Savage model, can't recall the model number but had the 10 round clip for 99.97, the other was a Mossberg for 89.97. Not looking for one with all the bells and whistles, just something to shoot at cans with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJJ Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Re: Almost bought a .22 today, which one would you? i would buy the mossberg. if all you are going to do is shoot cans with it that would be a good gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Re: Almost bought a .22 today, which one would you? I would buy a Marlin. I already have two, and they have never missed a beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderpancake Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Re: Almost bought a .22 today, which one would you? I second Jim, get a marlin. I have several Model 60's and they are great little autoloaders, I think they are going for about $118 right now, and they have some bolt-actions if that is what you are looking for.

JimT Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Re: Almost bought a .22 today, which one would you? Actually, I prefer a bolt action. While my buddies are reloading their autos, I am still plinking away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Almost bought a .22 today, which one would you? is the savage the semi-auto one?? if it is, i have that one, and unless i shoot the .22 stingers, i cant fire a whole clip without it jamming or failing to feed one into the chamber! i am thinking the spring in the action must be too stiff or something... its a great gun.... when i shoot the stingers out of it.

Guest J_Owens_66 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Re: Almost bought a .22 today, which one would you? Spend the extra dough and get a Ruger 10/22. Best 22 on the market for the $$$. Its about 150 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoBoone1 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Re: Almost bought a .22 today, which one would you Stingers are nasty little critters. They'll feather-cloud a sparrow 'bout as good as the .17 HMR!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
