Hi all,
I'm looking for a plinker and a gun to introduce my friends to shooting with. There's a used 10/22 in town for $220, a used Remington 512 in decent shape for $200, and I'm pretty sure I can pick up a new Savage Mark 2 for just a bit more over $200.
I grew up on a 10/22; it was the first gun I ever owned, a gift from my dad. So I'm partial to them. But I used to love shooting the old single shot bolt action farm .22 growing up. I have no idea where that gun is now or what model it was.
I'm unsure of whether to go for the newer 10/22 or the older 512. And I threw in the Savage just as a brand new option. Of course I could also pick up a new 10/22 for just shy of $300.
What do you all think? Any advice?
