Skinner Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 OK so went shooting last weekend at Rymer's and forgot how much I love shooting and want to pick up a rifle. I would love to get a AR but right not that is really out of my price range of want I want to spend. So I am thinking of either a AK/ SKS or possibly a .22 in a AR or MP5 like body. I don't want junk but at the same time I really don't want to break the bank either. I would like to stay at around 300 to 350ish but also have the option to build up the rifle a bit. (optics and possibly a forgrip) What should I be looking for and what would you get if you had the same money to spend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 10/22. Build from there. Absolutely agreed. For very little money you can have a 10/22 that shoots way better than the assault rifle knockoffs. I should have kept my built 10/22. I'll have another. I have an SKS-M also and often I still wish I could spend all day at any range (indoor or outdoor) and only waste $30 worth of ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 well a possible deal may have fell into my lap someone has a Romak AK with folding stock soft bag and 500 rounds for $250. Since I am gun noob is this a good price. anything to worry about that style of AK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'd suggest a Savage .17HMR for that kind of money. And that's a good deal on the AK so long ad its not beat to shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'd suggest a Savage .17HMR for that kind of money. And that's a good deal on the AK so long ad its not beat to shit The .17HMR is a lot of fun for the money. $250 for that AK package is a good deal even if the gun is half beat to hell. Also look into a Mosin Nagant. Big bang for the buck. If you really have your heart set on an SKS, get it now because the prices on them are going to keep going up.

Patrick Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I keep hearing 10/22 and have been reading on them for months, haven't seen a bad thing on em yet. Totally customizable. Anyone have one they want to sell me? :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate1647545505 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 10/22 is a great choice, like the honda civic of .22s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bruh Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I shot 5k rounds through mine before I ever cleaned it. Other than a couple bad rounds no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Every American should own a Ruger 10/22, a 1911 and an AR-15/M-16. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 aren't most .17's bolt action? If I remember correctly the semi auto .17hmr's had issues. I love my Savage 93R17. It's a damn accurate rifle and fun to plink or hunt small game with. Austin, didn't you use your .17hrm for Coyote hunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a .17WMR bolt action. It is more fun then my .22LR bolt action. You can shoot either of them if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I wasn't a big fan of my 10/22 and sold it pretty quickly... if you are wanting a 22LR, wait for a sale on the MP 15/22 if your heart is set on a 22LR. the 15/22 is a 22 that looks and will take all the AR accessories. I myself am looking for an SKS or AK if the price is right :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackbar00 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a GSG-5 and i love it. Might be worth looking into. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/DSC00605.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
