Help A Newbie! Lookinf for a cheap .22lr

[Duvivr6]

Alright so after I searched many post and other forums and rimfire.net

I want to find a marlin 60 is there any specific place i should visit? or should i grab one from wal-mart or academy?

You guys think i could find a used .22 somewere? before i head to buy a new one?

Academy, H&H, or Outdoor America are probably good choices. Academy can be a bit less "intimidating" than some of the big dedicated gun stores, but selection is limited. Since you're just looking for a fairly common .22lr, this might not be an issue.

Hard to go wrong with the venerable Ruger 10/22, as well, and they are really easy to track down.

Yeah I am new to guns and my first rifle was a mosin-nagant i bought 2 weeks ago but I want to get something the wife can shoot so she can stop complaining about guns being scary and evil!

I'd check at H&H or King's Pawn. I'd get a Ruger 10/22 if I was you. Could always grab a new one at Academy for cheap.

I recommend the 10/22 also. The new ones have plastic trigger assemblies, barrel bands, and other parts while the old ones had metal parts and walnut stocks. If you could find a nice old one that would really be sweet!

Here is a pretty cheap 22 from Tinstar in Weatherford

Have you looked in a pawnshop?

I went to Kings pawn today and i think they have what i was looking fro i think i might swing by lunch tomorrow and grab it.
It is a Springfield 87A oldie but should be lots of fun for what they are selling it for!

They also had that same Marlin that Relentless posted for $160 I though it was rather small not my style I know its a .22 but still

cant go wrong with a 10/22, great fun gun, with lots of custom options.

Yeah, you can do some fun run and gun with a 10/22, if you're into that. You get to do mag changes during your run. Accessories are endless.
