Hey all, I'm a teacher in Indiana who is getting ready to move to either Mississippi or Arkansas. Recently, I've gotten into cultivating some old-time skills (woodworking, gardening, etc.)
I'd like to start hunting small game, but I've never owned (or even fired) a rifle before. Plinked around with a BB gun when I was a kid, but that's about it.
In the course of my research, I kept coming back to this site. You guys are awesome--knowledgeable, funny, and light on the BS.
My idea for the thread is (as the title suggests) First Rifle, Last Rifle. That is, if you only had ONE .22 to last the rest of your life, which make/model would you choose and why?
I'm considering the normal things like accuracy, durability, reliability, but ALSO things like *ease of maintenance*. If you had to be your own gunsmith, which of these .22 rifles would you trust to give you the fewest problems?
I look forward to hearing from you!
