Hi,
I've been lurking the forums for quite some time now (think years) but I've finally decided to post because of a certain dilemma I'm facing. I have just turned 18 and decided to go purchase a longarm. However, I'm stuck trying to choose between a wood-stock Ruger 10/22, a stainless Ruger 10/22, and a Mosin Nagant 91/30 (or an M44 in the event the 91/30's are out of stock). I have no prior experience operating any firearms, but with that said, I am still looking at the MN91/30 simply because I'm afraid the Big 5's in CA will run out of them soon (as opposed to running out of 10/22s). With that said, what're your suggestions?
Also, for those who suggest the MN91/30: Despite the fact that I have not operated or purchased any firearms before, is there anything I should do when purchasing one, in terms of inspection?
