I agree, I love my 10-22's. Probably one of my fav rifles in my safe. If you want a little more firepower .223 is a good choice as well. I tried both the Kel-tec and the Mini-14 and the Mini-14 now has a good home in my safe.

Um... first and best answer? Stupid board won't let me post with just +1 as an answer. Anyhow, the above will fit your needs perfectly. No need to look further.

Cheap, easy to learn, easy to operate. This is the classic first gun gun.

I don't even have a 10/22 yet and that's still my first response.

The standard 10-22 should come with a scope mount rail, at least mine did 20 years ago...
Then you just need the rings.

My 10-22 purchased new at a store called Gemco back in 1982 still fires as accurately as the day I purchased it, and is still the most cost effective fun plinker in the safe. Although, now I tend to use the AR more than anything else, and if this war ends, I'll start shooting the crap out of surplus .308.

standard 10/22s don't come with a scope rail these days, in fact I'm not sure if any of them come that way from ruger...

10/22. Fun little guns.

If only Ruger didn't do the letter thing. That might dissuade you from buying one, as it did me.

Marlin 1895 GS. in .45-70.

Depends. If you are plinking dumpster sized tin cans or just dumpsters.....


What about a Marlin 60? I'm picking mine up tomorrow.

I think the Ruger 10/22 has a model with no sights that you can put a mount, rigs and a scope on. Might be a good idea to check their website though to make sure i am right.
