Hey everyone, I didn't abandon you... I just don't use my computer too much. I think I'm going to go ahead and buy a 10/22 as my first rifle. There's been a lot of great responses in this thread and I appreciate everyone's input! Might aim for a 10/22 Tactical if I can find one locally.
Using the car analogy, I'm really just looking for something to get me from point A to point B. Mid range, for home use and practice. A real beginners rifle.
Hey NYGunForum, I decided that it's finally time to buy an actual rifle instead of LARPing on Arma and the likes.
For my first gun, I'm looking to buy the cheeseburger of rifles. A simple but effective patty, with plenty of room for additional condiments and addons when necessary. Bonus points...
