Recommendations on first 22 Rifle
Need some advice on which .22 Rifle to purchase. I've done some internet research and the Ruger 10-22 and Savage Mark II seem to have a loyal following, but that is just 24 hours with google.
When I was young I shot a lot of .22 at boy scout camps, and did years of .177 airgun plinking in the back yard. As time has moved on I'm out of sync with what is available, and therefore , I'd probably characterize myself as a newbie.
Some of the characteristics I'm looking for include accuracy up to about 150 yds for small game, target plinking, and local indoor shooting range use in the winter. Price is not a constraint within reason.
I'm left handed ( sometimes that matters ) and wear 1.5X reading glasses, but have excellent eyesight other than closeup. I'd like to use a scope. I probably don't want a bolt action reload after each shot, prefer a magazine w/ 5-10 rounds ( guessing ).
Also need advice where to buy, local gunshop, or big chain stores ( dicks, cabbala's )
