Ammo prices soar. New .22

[boomerang]

I shoot a Feinwerbau aw-93. I shoot it a lot.
I'm also planning on buying a Smith 22S with 7" barrel and tuning the trigger.
It's so that I can have fun with another gun, but one that's cheap, so that I can do the trigger tuning myself.
I've had the Ruger MkII govt., but I didn't care for it as much because I prefer a "normal" grip angle.

I have the 22A...10,000 rounds and still going strong...no problems to speak of and it will drive tacks at 25 yards...

I've put about 500 rounds through my Model 41 since I got it back in November. Great gun, just haven't had the time and the ammo I'm using is crap.

I love my Government (my 3rd Ruger .22 auto), but understand your preference for a 1911 v. Luger grip angle.

I suggest getting the Ruger 22/45, which has the 1911 grip angle and - even better - the mag release where it belongs, instead of that moronic latch at the bottom.

Do rifle's have a capacity limit in MA or just handguns? I was thinking of something like one of those .22 lever action rifles that holds 17 rounds or something like that. Any suggestions?

Levers use a tubular mag and those are exempt in a .22.

Both rifles and handguns have the capacity limits, but there's an exception for 22 rimfires with attached tubular magazines.

S&W 22A is a fantastic gun! I love mine.

2nd the SW22A I have one as well, and although it's a safe queen now due to my Model 41, it's a great plinker.

I've got a P22, and I'm having cycling problems. Fails to feed very often, no matter what I put through it.

My buddy has one that has never had any problem, and we're both shooting the same stuff.

go to rimfire central, they have vertually a fix for everythig for the P22.

I love mine and glad I bought it over the others.

It IS NOT a target gun, but it is a hellofalotta fun to shoot and doesnt look like a lameass german luger (sry, ugliest gun of all time IMO)

and, depending on the age of the P22, reliability will differ. older/original ones (as with any new model anything) had problems.

fwwi, i think that they have fixed most of these.

Cool, Thanks Chris and jar.

Go with the 22A!!! I swear you won't be disappointed.
