.22 Rimfire needed fast!

kuntry kid · #1 03-09-2005, 07:48 PM

Hello all.
I would be overjoyed if anybody out there had a CHEAP .22 rimfire for sale. Emphasis is on CHEAP(less than $200 please).
I need something to be able to work on my targeting so i can also pass hunters safety course, as it is what I have been dreaming of since I was Very little.

I know when I took hunter safety you didn't shoot any rimfires. Just took a written exam with about 50 quesitons. Basic common sense questions. Anyways, you cuold always go up to a local sporting store (depends on age) and buy a .22 for cheap. There are several different brands for less then $200 Ruger 10/22, Rem 597, Marlin and Savage. Hope that helps

Maryland hunters safety you get to shoot .22 rimfire now. But idunno something about htis request just doesn't sit right.

You can get a .22 rimfire just about anywhere for under $200

Kuntry
Slow down a bit

I get excited everytime I get a new gun also, but WOW

I hadn't heard you needed a gun here in Michigan for Hunter's Safety. I have been checking into when my son can get into class, and don't recall seeing anything about needing a gun. Even in most CCW classes here, you can rent a gun for the range portion.
Besides, I'm guessing your a minor, and you just plain can't purchase a gun yet.
Give us a little more info and perhaps we can be of more help. There is nothing better than our youngsters getting excited about our sport and getting involved in it. I am sure many members here would help with anything they could ... advise, etc

Ok, I take back the hunters safety course. I need a 22 so I can take the stupid squirrels and racoons out. I am interested in turkey hunting on the allegan game area and cannot afford a shotgun.

O well.

OK so not to bust your chops or nuthin' but in other words you came on here and lied to us and expect someone to help you out.

There are a lot of nice people on this board that could have talked you through what the PROPER and RIGHT way to get yourself a .22 would have been, but you shouldn't be lying to anyone like that

KK,
Not trying to preach at you, but slow down, and think about what your asking and saying.

I just tried to get on the Michigan DNR website, but something is wrong with my Adobe Reader. But I am pretty positive that you can't use a 22LR for Michigan turkey seasons.

As for not affording a shotgun, I just bought my son a new 20ga / 22 LR combo gun for $110. So they are out there.

Owning any weapon comes with its own responsibality, and at a younger age... ownership is a priveldge and not a right, IMHO. Please, slow down. I'm sure your a good kid, with great intentions, and full of youthful exuberance. But truth and patience will be your best reward now and all through out life

Ok, thank you for all the "help". DO YOU GUYS JUST GO AROUND AND FIND THE THINGS I SAID AND THROW IT AT MY FACE??!! Geez!

Simmer down KK. We are all here to help. The request you made just didn't come off right and there were several things that make me personally suspicious about actually helping you.

I will follow you request and possibly contact you via PM.

obviously wanted a 22 cheap cause no one will sell to him and mom and dad prob said no way.

obviously no respect for the law, or elders. compulsive liar more than likely. i wonder how much illegal game this one has taken.? quite a bit i am sure. (turkeys with 22 in or off season.)

oh well, i guess maybe we all remember parts of this kid in us at younger age.

hopefully time and experience will mature the individual.

Guys, I think looking back at this one, that Kuntry has a point to a cetain extent. The last thing I want to contribute to is beating up a young, new member here. My aplogies to you Kuntry, and any thing further on this thread will have to be in private. I am closing this thread for the good of us all.
Again, my apologies Kuntry... God knows I belong in the back of the line when in comes to casting stones.
