Forgive me for asking this in General discussion, but it doesn't fit soley in either rifles or handguns sections. So here goes....
My wife has decided that i need to spend more time on a hobby, and since she knows i love shooting, she is encouraging me to do it more often. Ofcourse, finaces are the reason why i don't shoot more often, so we agreed that i can get a .22lr for my birthday in a couple weeks, since it will be cheap to shoot, and will get me out of the house when i am not working and give me a way of destressing. Plus every household needs a .22
My first thought was to get a .22 pistol so that i can practice more often and get better with my carry pistol. Also, i belong to a pistol range, so it would make plenty of sense.
But then i thought that it might be even more fun to purchase a .22 rifle. I can still use it at the same range (although i probably won't be renewing my membership), and out in the forests that are so abundant up here.
I currently have a CCW pistol (bersa .380), a shotgun, and an SKS.
So i am pretty torn as to what i should pick. Rifle for 25-50 yard plinking, or pistol for close range practice.
Any help will be appreciated.
