I do understand budgeting for a gun,,,
It wasn't that long ago that putting together $109.00 took some time.

I agree about getting a bolt-action rather than a semi-auto,,,
No worries about ammo compatibility with a bolt gun.

One you might also look at is the Mossberg 802 Plinkster,,,
Right now they are available from buds gun shop for $144.00.

Don't confuse this with their 702 Plinkster,,,
That's their semi-automatic .22 rifle,,,
It's a nice enough rifle for a semi,,,
Mine is accurate and reliable,,,
But I like bolt rifles better.

I purchased an 802 rifle for a friend as a graduation gift,,,
The little shooter is very accurate at 50 yards,,,
At 100 yards he can hit Coke cans easily.

There are a lot of other good rifles out there,,,
You can spend a ton of cash for a high quality .22 rifle.

My CZ-452 Special Military Trainer is an excellent quality rifle,,,
But at close to $400.00 it was an expensive purchase,,,
And even though I say it was worth every penny,,,
That was a lot for me to spend for a plinker.

If you are just wanting something reasonable,,,
You should be able to easily come in for under $200.00.

Later,,,
