    Bought my first rimfire.

    I had been wanting a bolt action compared to the semi autos I already have I really wanted a 308 but I grabbed 300 rounds of federal 22lr for 16 bucks out the door when I was in SoCal a few weeks ago. I had been browsing around and narrowed it down to a savage mk 2 fv-sr I went by big five on my fifteen minuet brake (it's about 100yards from where I work) and they had one in stock so I could fondle it while I convince my wife when I get home I need it, it was on hold which sucked but I got to feel the bolt and make sure it felt good. I get a text from my wife saying hurry home she has a surprise for me. She has an envelope with the car registration an electric bill and my hsc card (knew I needed it before but didn't know it was just handguns) in it and 300 cash saying happy anniversary the rifle you want is on hold at big five lets go start the paper work. So you all know how much this means she is a stay at home mom who makes tutus crocheted hated and hair bows to order for people, so she saved the money from all that which for how many orders she does can be two to three weeks to make that profit, so it means a lot to me she did that usually I tell her what she makes she can use fore play money.

    I already ordered 2 ten round mags for 35 shipped and another 1000 rounds of 22lr from psa.

    I do need some optics for it. I have a leepers 3-9x32 on my ar it's cheap but I can put every round in a 2" circle at 100 yards with my ar so I'm happy with it, I am thinking about moving that to my 22 and upgrading my ar looking at a primary arms 4-16x40 my eyes aren't the best and I want to try and reach out to 300 yards with the ar.

    I know pics are what matter the most so here it is
