My man I get the excitement, but I’d recommend going to a local gun shop and get a basic but good quality 22LR rifle. Nothing against RDSC but having a good local shop to help you get started is very valuable.

Totally — in fact, I’m not buying from RDSC. I just wanted to build a cart with the items I want, and for some reason they had all of them, and the website is easy to use. But I’ll definitely try to buy local in NB, and I’ll be looking for deals when the time comes.

I have two .22 options in mind: the Derya TM22 Pro and the Adler RF224. They’re so cheap that when the time comes, I’ll probably buy both. I really like the design of the Adler, but it doesn’t get much love here.

I’d recommend neither of them. Get a Ruger 10/22 or a bolt action such as Savage mark 2. If you have to choose between tm22 and rf224, get the tm22.
