I have a Ruger MK III Target (SS/5.5") and a 1948 S&W K-22. I prefer the S&W quite a bit, while my 16 year old likes the Ruger.
I've started daydreaming about the Colt (Trooper, Offiicer, and Diamondback) and S&W (K22/M17/M18) DA .22LR revolvers, and these older guns are where its at for me -...
$400 max leaves you with Taurus 94 or Charter Arms (both SA/DA). If you can save up another $100 you're into Ruger's territory with the Single Six (Convertible), Single Ten, and SP101 (SA/DA). After researching the .22 wmr convertibles, they sound fun but don't seem very useful since you are...
I picked up the Savage MKII GVXP = wood stock, heavy barrel and simmons scope package for $215 cash total (NIB) at the INDY 1500 gun show last spring. The dealer was from the Lafayette area. It has the accutrigger and 10 shot clip mag. Shoots CCI standard velocity very well = 5 shot groups...
If you want to stick with the $300 budget:
Go with the Marlin 795 for $100 and you will get a plenty accurate .22 out to 65 yards (1" no problem at 50 yards from a rest with 3-9x scope). (If the Marlin 795 just isn't sexy enough for you, then go with the Ruger or Marlin 60. The 795 is a...

I've been shooting my .22 (Savage GV) at Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club.
In September, a teenage girl shot 600-43x (60 shots) with peep sights prone at 100 yards with her Anschutz.

The idea is precisely contained in "The Central Limit Theorem."
What this means (you can Wiki it) is:
If you have a system with several variables, each with its own statistical distribution, the variation in output will approach a Normal Curve (Bell Curve). So, everything is perfect = you hit...
1) For the price, the 795 is great. If you want to shoot at 100 yards, a 3-9x scope isn't quite enough. There are some cheap BSA that can give you 36x fixed magnification or variable magnification of up to 16 or 24 or 32. Found best prices at Natchez Shooters Supply.
2) The trigger is heavy...
I was looking for a 6" barrel S&W K-22 or 17, or a Colt Trooper - .22 lr.
Would consider a 617 or a Diamondback on super sale.
Must be in perfect working order with excellent bore. Prefer something in the 90-98% range cosmetically. All original please. Want gun as a shooter, but box...
I've seen some posts about this place on here and - while it is certainly not Gander Mountain in terms of selection, or ambiance - I did get a CZ 455 American .22 lr there that was cheaper than BUDS cash price and 10-15% cheaper than Popguns could give me.

If it has adjustable sights you can probably pull off the rear sight and stick on this scope rail, then put a red dot or the like on it.

I've been wondering about the Hawk population.
I started commuting between Indy and Bloomington 8 years ago. At the time, I would see a hawk every now and then. Like, one a week.
The last 3 years the population has seemingly exploded. There are days when I see one every two miles. I have...

I have a Ruger MKIII Target and have been researching a .22lr revolver, also interested in the convertibles, and possible a .22 mag.
I was at the range yesterday shooting my Ruger and a guy showed up that also had a Ruger MKIII a SW 617, and a SW 686. He said the 617...
