Hey guys,
I have owned a Ruger 10/22 for about 15 years. I have one rotary magazine and the rest are 25 round mags. I have always had good luck with butler creek steel lip mags and therefore gathered, uh...several.
My girlfriend has been shooting handguns a little bit with me and is interested in theProject Appleseed shoot that I asked her to do. Next step, adding another 22lr to my collection.
I have thought about getting another 22lr for years. My buddy has an old Remington 512 target, and I looked around for those for years but never got one. I have looked at CZ 452? and other bolt actions after shooting them. So I have liked all the bolt action 22s I have touched and I also used to have a henry lever action that I liked as well, but eventually sold.
On the other hand, I also have definitely thought about just getting another Ruger 10/22 especially since I have enough 25 round mags. Aside from 223 or some other calibers, even 2 10/22s with 25 round mags of 22lr is a lot of firepower. Now that I think about it, there is something to be said about have a second identical gun in case of the worst happens and you need parts to keep just one operating (note to self...make sure I have parts for 10/22, ar, m&p9 as I am not equipped in this area).
So what do you guys think? I want my girlfriend to be comfortable with the gun, so length of pull might be an issue. We haven't gotten her on the Ruger much and I can't remember how it fits her. What say you? A bolt action would be nice, but practically maybe I should add another 10/22. Maybe I won't like having a second one as much as something different but it could be for the best.
