I am already looking towards my next purchase, I think I know what I need...I mean want...
.22LR riffle is the direction I am leaning. Navy Moose did a good job of talking me into a .223 AR-15 and getting the .22 conversion slide, etc so I would have the best of both. I love that idea and cant explain how much I would love an AR. Bottom line is its a lot of dough, more than I think I can afford right now and for the near future. My research tells me I am looking at $1,200 to $1,500 for that setup. For nothing to fancy either.
So I look to the true .22, prices are much more reasonable and feasable now or soon. I see two top performers in the group, Ruger 10/22 and the M&P 15-22. Ruger is classic, super accurate and cheaper, $200-$300. M&P is fun, awesome gun to shoot and AR style. Pricer though at $400 to $500.
So I am hoping I can here from people with one or both and get their thoughts or suggestions on something else. I have not shot either one, but research tells me the Ruger is more sniper'ish and the M&P is more assult riffle like. I see there are a ton of things you can do to the ruger to make it more tacticle'ish and such. I like the idea of something very accurate and just plain fun to shoot.
Both have tons of options, high cap mags and drums, I am seriously having a terrible time deciding.
