This is a good business and they don't charge sales tax. This model doesn't stay in stock long, so think about that. https://www.familyfirearms.com/prod...ack-satin-stainless-right-hand#product_detail

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, for me, I’d still be in for shipping and FFL transfer, so cost would be around $450 or so.

Cabelas runs frequent 10% off for club members, and I also get another 5% off. I pick up at my local Bass Pro and save shipping and FFL so I’m out the door at around $395. Plus I get 5% for Club Points on the purchase.

I don’t buy all my guns and shooting supplies at Cabelas/BPS, but if I’m patient, I can really save some money.

I started testing them against one another in this thread.

Side by side, Ruger 77/22, American, CZ 455 and Savage 22B

I was going to attempt a more comprehensive test but I didn’t get the hay put up until late and the rain came early. I gathered the 4 out and did a little testing at 50 yards before I had to put up. Using CCI blazer I shot 3 fowlers the proceeded with 3, 5 shot groups, round robin style vs...

There are absolutely a lot of great suggestions and advice.

My grandkids are both under 3 years old. I will not be buying a single shot .22. I understand the concept, but I’m not convinced it serves the purpose I’m looking at.

I am really leaning towards the Ruger. I’ve already bought both grandkids Henry lever action .22’s. I want these to be scoped rifles versus the open sights on the Henry’s.

I plan to buy (order) from Cabelas. I wait for the sales, and get an additional military discount. Plus, I get points using my card.

I’m overshooting my budget, but looking hard at this model…

If I can catch the next 10% off sale I’ll be under $400…

That looks like a very good choice. The RAR I have is very accurate and I have had no problems with it. I have not heard of accuracy or extraction problems, I haven't had any.
