First time gun buyer

[u/KaydecuesCAD]

Any recommendations for a first gun I have a budget of 1000 dollars and most likely wanting to get a rimfire I been looking at the rock armory tm22.

regardless of what gun you buy, you need to keep in mind that that $1000 also need to pay for ammo, cleaning kit, lock, safe (maybe), case (bag type is fine) and a gun club membership (1 year).

also maybe hearing/eye protection lol
