ad-closed CLOSED - WTB: 22LR bolt or lever action

[user1776]

Update: Some life stuff came up so I've decided to hold off on this gun purchase for now. 

 

I didn't grow up shooting but I've grown to love it

Got my first AR15 last year, put together an AR AK in 762x39 since ammo prices were crazy, and picked up a 22LR conversion kit for my AR. Now I'm looking for an inexpensive dedicated 22LR bolt or lever gun to add to the collection (and hopefully entice my wife to joining me on a range trip with an easy shooter).

I'm pretty open on make/model... been eyeing a few like the Ruger American, Ruger Precision Rifle in 22, Henry Golden Boy (or the regular ol H001), etc. etc. Hoping to find something to have fun with that won't break the bank. If you've got something that's been sitting in your safe for too long and you want to free up space for your next fun gun, let me know. Interested in package deals with a scope but also open to guns without an optic. 

Located in Nashville, have my Enhanced Carry Permit and willing to sign a bill of sale.

Congratulations on getting into the shooting sport. Your on the right track with a 22 fer the Mrs. 
 A 22 pistol is always fun to shoot easy to handle and my wife and daughter like to compete against each other shooting the crotch out of a  big silhouette target !!

Good luck and enjoy !

I second the suggestion for a .22 pistol for your wife.

Alright, so I guess that opens it up to .22LR pistols as well. Thanks for the suggestion. Anyone have one available they want to get rid of?

There are three Ruger .22s available right now in the Firearms Calssifieds, two semi-autos and one Single Action Revolver.  Look for Ruger Handgun #1, #2  & #3.

Thanks Moped. I am not a fan of the way Ruger 22 semi-autos look and not interested in a revolver at the moment.

Then I'd suggest a Taurus TX-22.  Go look at the reviews on Youtube.  I have one and love it!!!

Derf sure has a nice Browning t~bolt for sale here I’m the classifieds. It isn’t inexpensive, but I’ve never regretted buying quality.

I have a ruger rpr 22LR, topped with a Athlon Argos BTR Gen 2 6x24x50 scope, and bipod. Maybe 100 rds down it. Went a different route. Ive got it listed on another site currently for $800 complete package.

Thanks all - due to some unforeseen fixes needing to be done around my house, the fun money is being diverted. I'll be back though - a dedicated 22LR is still something I'm looking forward to
