Well after sighting in my deer rifle this weekend, I got carried away and shot through two boxes of 25-06 in no time. I started shooting so good I couldn't stop.
Although I had a lot of fun for a short amount of time, I was left hanging and wanted to keep shooting but couldn't bring myself to buy another 50 dollars worth of ammunition.
So although I've put it off long enough I must bring myself to buy a bolt action .22. One that I can mount a scope on.
Another problem that I have when I shoot my centerfires, is that fear of wearing out my gun is always itching the back of my mind. Unfortunately, I get this nervousness even on brand new guns. I know that guns were meant to be shoot, but I need something that brings no fear. CAN you wear out a bolt .22? seems the pressures and velocities are WAAAY too low if the gun is decent build quality.
these are the qualifications:
1. .22LR
2. Bolt Action
3. Stainless Steel
4/5. Kinda like iron sights and magazine feeding style doesn't concern me.
I own a Ruger 10/22 but wanna keep it iron sighted, however the marlins seem nice to me. Are these things as "indestructable" as the rugers seem to be. Whats this "micro-groove" business? Does it wear out quickly?
Oh, thinking around the 450 dollar figure. Appreciate your replies fellas.
