Do it! Do it! Do it!!:tup:

Put it on the credit card.. haha:roflpuke2:

I've never really shot a gun in my life, but like a lot of things, maybe I'd like to try it.
I have a very old Ruger (yes, it's a 22) that my wife inherited from her dad.
It hasn't been shot or cleaned in over 30 years.
My wife and I actually took it to the Fairfax County Police station in Sully who checked it AND DISCOVERED IT WAS LOADED :shakes head:

I live and work in Centreville and Fairfax.
Anybody know of a good place where I can get it cleaned and checked?
Anybody think it would be a good gun to learn with?

:bowrofl:

I'll give it a few days.

haha... whats surprising is the fact that you're getting this rifle for under $1000, thats the shocker right there. I'd say do it!!! hehe

Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly should be able to help you. If the gun functions properly it should be a good little plinker. Accurate and .22lr is cheap.

I'd also read over the manual if you still have it (available online here: http://www.ruger.com/products/_manuals/markI.pdf) to familiarize yourself with the function and all of the safety aspects of course.

Thats an old gun right there, I think it'd be gun to get your fundamentals of marksmanship up to speed, but eventually I'd go with something more modern.

Sad thing is I haven't even bought one yet and I'm already like, "Man, it'd be cool to have a SPR too..." :facepalm:

:tup::roflpuke2:

Thats why that credit card is calling you out!

I'll qualify for an Amex Black card soon enough. ;) :icon18:

NICE!! :happydance: BALLER!! :tup:

Thanks Steve

Do it, Do it, you know you want to.

If it's a range gun, the SPR will be more accurate over long distance.

No point having a short carbine, unless you plan on doing urban combat, building/room clearance, or home defence LOL

And honestly an AR would not be my first choice for home defense.

My girfriend just got that invite from Amex last week ;)

Agreed. Nothing wrong with cleaning a weapon. There's no downside. They can't be over-cleaned.

Mac, any thoughts on Palmetto State Armory's stuff?

Unfortunately in NOVA all we have are indoor ranges, maximum 50 yards, so an SPR wouldn't see much real use unless I went a ways south to get to an outdoor range. That's why I would do something like that second.
