Favorite non .22 plinking rifle?
By plinking I just mean hitting cans, steel plates. Old appliances etc.
For me as far as enjoyment it's the mosin nagant. However the cleaning and rifle weight involved tends to leave It shelved most the time. I live out in the country with thousands of acres to one side so I can go down and shoot |

I have two centerfires that I enjoy plinking with. A Savage Axis in .223 and a 16" AR. With the softer recoil and lower cost to make the ammo than larger calibers, they are the ones I grab for fun. The Axis when I still want accuracy, and the AR when pure fun is the only goal.

I'm with Jay24bal.....An AR is the way to go.....relatively inexpensive to shoot compared to most other center fire rifles.....the 223/5.56 versions any way.

I have an ar15 but as I use it for semi long range I don't really want to run any Tula through it.
I am thinking of buying a an74 just for cheap blasting but you still have to clean the darn thing |

I prefer my Savage 17hmr to my Ruger 10/22. I started with my 10/22, but if I had it to do over, I would have started with a bolt action 22, but I still would have expanded to the 17.

17HMR or 38 specials either from a lever action.

Lever action .357 is a lot of fun. .223 bolt action with a ridiculous scope is also a lot of fun for 100 yard nickel size target competitions with your shooting buddy.

AR-15, Mini-14, 2 Mosin Nagants, Hi-Point 9mm Carbine with cheap BSA red dot optic. Super accurate and reliable btw. Working up loads for my 30-06's and 223's. Since I have around 6000rds of 22lr I still shoot one of my 5 22's just about every trip to my range. Hell I still like shooting my Daisy 1000 pellet rifle. Its killed enough squirrel to be legit in my opinion. I like shooting all my guns. I don't own any safe queens.

Rossi 92 .357 magnum. I can load .38 specials cheaper than .22's and the gun is fun to shoot for me and my 11 year old son.
