Well he bought it 2 weeks ago, and today was the first time we took it out for a spin. He just bought some cheapies, 50 rounds went down range with no problems what so ever. And its damn accurate one dialed in.

Good choice! (M44 or 91/30?)

You'll do fine. Its the laws that count for the permit.

.22s are a dream to shoot. Unfortunately, as of Saturday, Genghis Connie is no longer impressed with .22s and now prefers my 9mm. Sigh, this is what happened to my favorite pistol.

Why, it fires only the finest in nerf darts, at negative velocity.

There's a break down on 6mmbr.com IIRC that an expensive custom rifle will cost less than ammo and replacement barrels over the course of 3 years. So yes an avid shooter will outcost a weapon in ammunition shortly and a not so avid shooter in a few years. But a firearm will not necessarily last a life time, handguns especially wear out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/423507/3812001.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/423507/3812001.page GMT Went to the shooting range this morning
I tend to gravitate towards long-distance shooting, the 400+ yard variety. Although, all those tactical rifle and handgun drills are always fun to do.
