options for a 22lr

[johnnymac101]

I have a Marlin 795 rifle and a Colt .22 (aka Cadet) pistol. And I just got a MP15-22 yesterday just for the fun of it!!
I would recomend semi-auto, for the fun factor. A bolt action may be a good start for safety, but she may get hungry for the faster shots!
Since this is for the both of you (right?!) go for the MP15-22 then check out http://appleseedinfo.org/ for some history and marksmanship

The only downside of a 15-22 is it takes proprietary mags and is all polymer

My first 22lr pistol will be a Browning Buckmark Hunter. That is, as soon as I can get my hands on a new one... nobody can find the darn things.

What about something like this?

Henry .22 MSRP $340 Retail probably less.

My sister liked the 15-22. It was the first rifle she'd ever fired. Plus the transition to a "real" AR is very easy once she warms up to it.

ETA: Make sure it's something you can suppress. Why? Because 'Merika.

Psa put an upper on sale bout to say heck with 22 and buy it lol. It's a nice upper

I can't say enough good things about my SR22. Eats everything, and fun to shoot.

For longer options, I like the 10/22, while my kids are partial to the 15-22. They are different beasts, but you can't go wrong with either.

yes i realize one is 223/556 but its a great deal so the 22 might have to wait.

Go for a Ruger SR22, nearly 3000 through mine, no issues.... NOT ammo finicky like some other .22LR semi auto's

I too have an sr22 and love it. My wife and I both use it for cheap practice. Always use cheap bulk ammo and have never had an issue.

Another vote for Ruger SR22 pistol - it digests it all and you can change out the grip sleeve to an thinner one.

.22 rifle - you can beat the Marlin model 60 OR 795 (just like the 60 tube feeder, but has 10 rd magazine). Bolt stays open on both on last shot. They shoot std velocity stuff fine, not need for the high velocity stuff. Stock out of the box, Marlins rule! If you want a bolt, Marlin makes them as well, Savage and the CZ are super accurate for reasonable $$. (my next .22 LR rifle will be a LEFTY CZ).
