Just got back from buying a Ruger American, feels so damn good. It's my first gun. I live in CA, been stressing lately about the increasing gun restrictions, and I knew I had to make a purchase sooner rather than later. I can't wait to take it to the range. pic related, chambered .22lr, ran me about $350. How did I do /k/?
>10/22s and model 60's are way cheaper
Why tho
Pretty alright OP. Price isn't the best, but we can chalk that up to CA. Start planning for your next purchase. Maybe a pistol. Get mags and ammo as well.

Bolt guns are fun
.22 is a lot of fun to fuck around with, It's what I learned to hunt with when I was a child.
I still enjoy taking it out to shoot birds or other critters
Looks like my Tikka T3 made tender love to my CZ 455
I can't understand why someone would get a bolt action rifle that is chambered below 300 wm
>>30095052
yeah I have a few things to buy first, like a bag for instance, and ammo and a few extra mags. I was thinking I'll get a handgun next
>>30095062
>>30095064
this was my reasoning process basically
Bolt actions are the only rifles i would consider using a snowflake round in just because I know I wont be blasting it like a semi auto
Bolt actions are not on any of the bills...yet
If I were you, I'd hoard up ammo, get an AR or AK, better yet, get some 80% lowers.

I can't understand why somebody would want to shoot more than 1000 yards.

OP you made the wrong purchase
Your lawmakers are currently restricting detachable magazine fed semi auto rifles. It will take them a long time to come for your bolt action, if that even happens. Cucked countries like Britain still allow bolt guns. Go buy a mini 14 if you want something with these features that aren't subject to modification.

To kill the children better, silly.
>t. Moms demand action

chill out. the point is that i have A gun now. holding out for Trump presidency and SCOTUS nominations to buy a sick meme-tier babbykiller. Ultimately I want an uncucked AR-15 without having to leave the state. In the meantime I'll get a pistol later this year hopefully.

>Doesn't buy an AR.
You're post is retarded. Why didn't you just say you bought a Ruger 22Lr and you enjoy it? Sometimes I hate being a CA fag......
10/22 would've been a better choice but it is a .22Lr bolt so you shouldn't have many problems.

Excellent choice of rifle op, but you got buttfucked pretty hard on the price.
Mine was 270, came to 300 after taxes and background.
Man that rifle is so fun, if you get a good scope and zero it in you can get really awesome groups.

Hey op if you want a cheap handgun get a P64 Makarov, you can get them for $200 online.
>>30094998
Good choice op, here's mine

This, more or less.
>have Marlin 60 and 10/22
>considering .22 boltgun for extra fun
>>30099305 >>30094998 can agree with price rape, paid roughly 270(also cali). my first rifle as well with a couple thousand down the pipe.no regrets
>>30094998
Bought an NPAP today. I hope you guys get those bans lifted in under a decade.

Ammo price, recoil, the fact that you don't need a .338 Lapua to hunt deer or black bear.

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I'm serious, you need to go buy a semi auto rifle now while you can. I live in MD where we are semi cucked and would love to leave, but it's difficult to pack up your shit and go. If nothing else, buy the mini as an investment. The value on that or an SKS will go through the roof if these laws pass.
I understand your feelings as a new gun owner but as an experienced collector and as a person who regularly monitors political action you need to go buy a semi auto gun right now. Sell the bolt gun if you need to. Once your rights are gone, they aren't coming back.
