I'm going to bump with a couple rifle pictures

I don't know your market but I wouldn't buy a 22 unless it was new or I could shoot test groups. To much can go wrong with a target 22. Your best bet is to go to a range that has an amateur club and ask around to find out how to get involved. Eventually a club member will take pity on you and find an old guy willing to sell off his rifle.

This is literally how all of these competition groups run. New guy shows up, when he/she has passed scrutiny by applying themselves to the practice then club members find them deals on the right kit. Folks who show up cold with gear either spent too much or bought the wrong rifle or both.

Alright, that sounds normal, but I'm kinda gunless at the moment waiting on the firearms license to come in. Should I just pick up a cheapo new .22 and toss some aperture sights on board?

You can ask Kirsten Joy Weiss on Instagram and she'll very likely get back to you. And it will a better advice.

Don't buy anything. Show up with interest and they will tell you what to buy.

What I mean is this. I shoot on a state team, coach another team and am a member of four rifle clubs that are competition focused. I'm not bragging, I'm just giving you background.

What happens is this:
Guy shows up to a practice for his first time, he has brought what he got "good advice" to buy. What he bought is usually good, but always the wrong rifle for what he ends up wanting to do. Now he has to figure out how to sell it so he can afford the right rifle.

You don't know what you want to do yet, you know you have an interest so take that interest to the local club, and see both what interests you and what you can shoot a lot of locally. I was interested in bullseye pistol but I moved to a state where almost no one shoots it so I don't shoot it. It's more fun to do something you don't like as much as your dream hobby but with a pile of supportive people helping you out.

So just go and figure out what is available and what you like the most. Then you can buy the right rifle first time out.

It takes a pile of money and time to test .22 lots for accuracy in a rifle. Don't blow that money on a "starter rifle" only to have to do it all over again when you decide to get serious.

I have the older version of that, it's a nice shooter.

That exact rifle you just posted can be had for like $450 US. Cm-2 from izhmash. Usually listed under VOSTOK. They're pretty nice. Only thing that sucks is they don't have a magazine. Usually not an issue if you've got a table with the ammo next to you.
