    Youth Single Shot .22 Suggestions?

    Re: Youth Single Shot .22 Suggestions? He's only 2 right now haha, so sorta irrelavant for the age part. Just have the time and money right now to shop around and pick him and the newborn up something. Worse case scenario, they have zero interest and I'm out a couple hundred bucks. =P

    Youth Single Shot .22 Suggestions?

    Re: Youth Single Shot .22 Suggestions? I'll look into it, Aubrey, thanks. After my post about the Crickett I've read a few reviews talking about it being really low quality. I dont want or need any sort of high grade walnut stock, sub MOA shooting rimfire for the lad. But I dont want...

    Youth Single Shot .22 Suggestions?

    Re: Youth Single Shot .22 Suggestions? Thanks for the reply guys. The intention for the rifle would be pretty strictly an introduction/training gun for the first few years of their shooting experience. Over time it'll be replaced all together by something else. While googling your guys...

    Age For First Gun?

    Re: Age For First Gun? Jon - what kind of .22 is that pink rifle? To all the others - I absolutely agree on the per-individual basis on where they are in terms of responcibility, maturity, etc. But was just looking for a general idea of where the bulk of you had obtained your first BB gun...

    Age For First Gun?

    Re: Age For First Gun? Yeah, I wouldn't let the kids hang onto their guns or anything, would always be in the safe with my stuff. I remember always having my pellet gun with me though when I was a kid. I lived out in a rural area with a lot (hundreds of acres) of woods around me, and was...

    Age For First Gun?

    Re: Age For First Gun? Definitely agree with you guys. And your absolutely right, just because they turn X age, doesn't mean they're ready. But it's nice to hear some other people agree on the getting started young belief. ^.^ Thanks guys!

    Age For First Gun?

    Hey gang, I was wondering how old you all were when you received your first firearm? I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly so, but we'll see) that most of you got a BB/pellet gun prior to a rimfire/centerfire. I believe I was around 5-6 when I got my first BB gun, and 12 or 13 when I got my first .22...

    Scope power for .22 build?

    Re: Scope power for .22 build? 3-12x variable scope would be my suggestion. I have a 3-12x40 on my .17 HMR and I love it. My .22LR has a 3-9x and I was always wishing it had a bit higher magnification, but it's personal preference really. Anything in the 3-12x would be plenty, and try and get...

    Rem. Model 6. Help With Date?

    Hey gang, I have a Remington Model 6 that I can't seem to date. The Rem. Society website lists the letters on the underside of the barrel. But they go from U to W... skipping V... Which is whats on the underside of my barrel. I know the Model 6 was made from 1901 to 1933. And I know there...

    wanting to buy .22

    Re: wanting to buy .22 I'd vote against the Marlin 60 myself. It was my first gun, still own it (can see a pic of it in the Rimfire Stick's thread page 5) I've seen a lot of people talk it up, but honestly, ever sense owning it, it stove pipes a lot. Regardless of what ammo I put through it...

    how many rifles do you need?

    Re: how many rifles do you need? Y'all are going about it the wrong way. Point out "the huge economic crash of 2008, stocks and real estate wiped out people's retirements and bankrupted thousands." "Now... Gold... Collectibles such as coins, art, guns... ( ) have held their value. If I...

    Higher Velocity = Lower Penetration?

    Re: Higher Velocity = Lower Penetration? So the question ultimately should be... What is the velocity that produces the maximum penetration, if all else is equal? Let's say you had a M700, which was able to shoot, 7.62x39, .308, .30-06, and .300 Weatherby Mag rounds. Exact same gun, same...
