I feel kinda odd using that statement as it seems more a veteran thing and Im a noob. I shot a .22LR semi months back - first ever experience with a firearm.
Dunno what make or model it was but it looked like a tactical-ed-up AR-15. Course I had an awesome time with the fun 0.22LR.
I'm an avid paintballer (Circa 1996) and I swear I've felt more recoil of some of the older markers (VM-68 comes to mind).
Anywho I decided to pick up that M4 styled 0.22LR everyones a buzz about. It was $479ish at Big5. I'm not sure if I got a decent deal or even made a good choice. I dont have a real desire for a tactical styled 0.22LR and I see these Marlins going for ~200ish. They look just as handy and I feel silly with that faux .223 mag. I'm concerned that I may have made an ignorance-based decision.
Of greater concern is reliability and care. I assume the manual will cover it all but I really haven't a clue. I mean some older paintball markers come with a manual that's just a few more paragraphs than "Do not point at face"...
Pretty excited! Thanks for reading and any advice!
