Something that would be more effective on animals like deer. What are your favorite caliber rifles? I wouldn't mind a hand gun but don't care to have on in the house with my kids around yet. I have rifles in 30.06, 223, 300 Win mag, and 7mm. the .06 is my favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a buddy of mine has one and always liked shooting it. I haven't shot many rifles other than a .22 and .17 which are like shooting a pellet gun. I have another friend who has a Russian WWII rifle that we would shoot for fun. It was incredibly accurate but ammo was near impossible to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love shooting my Stainless 10/22. They are fun as hell to shoot and a lot cheaper to shoot. I just built a PSA AR. Looking forward to the range on Saturday morning to dial it in.

GobbleDog 811 Posted January 25, 2023 For Christmas, my father in-law gifted me his old Springfield .22. Looks like this, but mine's in mint condition. Manufactured in the late 60's and holds 15 rounds in tube below the barrel. https://www.gunauction.com/buy/pictures.cfm?i=14478457 Not loud, no kick, and ammo is dirt cheap. My kind of gun.
