First off, I am a college student working part time so money is pretty low at the moment.
I plan on getting an M1 garand as I have "trained" to shoot one and have a decent spread and accuracy with one. (10 shots withing the 5 inches at 100 yards standing).
However as you may know 30-06 is getting expensive and I would like to keep up my skills without breaking the bank. I was thinking of getting a .22 rimfire rifle to do this with.
I am considering the following guns:
Henry H001 (Lever action Steel finish 18.5 barrel) `$270
Henry H001t (lever action Steel finish 20 inch octagonal barrel) $341
Henry H004 (lever action Golden Boy Finish) $397
Ruger 10/22 ( everyone knows what it is) $211
honestly, I like the henry's (particularly the golden boy) because they are very nice looking rifles, and are a bit different from the normal rifles seen on the range. Would I be wasting my money on it though? Are they good rifles? Are they comparable to the Ruger? I have heard the ruger is much better.
Just give me the honest opinion, be aware I am about to spend a good $600 on that M1.
