The .22 LR
 

Love it, have a bit more fun shooting .45acp, but isn't it great to buy cheap ammo and plink away:)

Who else loves this little cartridge?

Heres mine: http://www.imfdb.org/forum/attachmen...1&d=1262144877


And some very fun targets

Everyone should own a .22- it's better than having an Xbox. Suprisingly, the most accurate rifle I own is a Winchester Model 52 in .22 LR

ah, i own an old marlin in .22
im hoping to get a walther p22 someday

I have a p22 and it's an OK gun but let me tell you something: if you get one, buy the one with the barrel extension or you won't be able to hit anything more than 3 ft away. I'm dead serious, it's that innaccurate

The walther grip is confortable but sights suck, way too much air between the rear and front alighnments. I prefer a much tighter sight picture.

I accidentally hit the mag release all the time when I'm firing mine

I had a Ruger 10/22 with Tru-Glo Fiber Optic sights on it. It was cheap, easy and fun to shoot, but I essentially traded it for my 12 Gauge. Kinda smart but kinda stupid. I'd like to get another one, or maybe a .22 pistol, but I've got other stuff to buy first.

I also keep hearing rumors that .22 LR will go through Class 2A body armor, is this true or complete bull?

It's probably bull

Ive heard its round construction, barrel length, etc. A rifle lenghth barrel, hardcast high velocit round, close rnage, its possible, but I think unlikely. Wish Boxotrth would test type II

One of the best cartridges ever, specially for countries where bigger cartridges ara banned. Here we´re waiting for this baby, the Sig Sauer 522:

Looks like a really expensive plinking rifle.

I'd get the GSG5, the .22 LR clone of an MP5

I've seen those little GSG's all over gun shows recently. Are they any good?

Ive heard the GSG 5 is accurate and reliable, but theres not many aftermarket parts to accessorize, and its a little expensive for a .22. .22s are just fun plinkers, no need to break the bank.

The purpose I see for rifles like the GSG5 or the GSG47 is for cheap training purposes. If you had to train someone to shoot well quickly. It is much easier to use a GSG5 when one spends two weeks and 2,500+ rounds of ammo. Although I can say that Airsoft is an even cheaper method of training than .22LR.

I actually don't own a .22, believe it or not. But like alot of Canadians I learned to shoot a rifle with a Lee-Enfield C No.7 in the cadets. I was on the range team and had my own permanently assigned to me - I've got alot of fond memories of that rifle, I'd love to buy one one of these days.

I held one of them and it feel like an airsoft gun in steroids, I don´t know why GSG made the Ak (someone told me that the romanians .22 are cheaper and better) instead of another rifle, like the G-36.

The .22 there is what me, and several friends, learned to shoot on. I bought it right after turning 18. Will never sell it. Love the gun. Eats everything, shoots well. The accutrigger is nice. Cant wait to get a centerfire savage some day, they make a hell of a gun. My next will be another savage rimfire, scoped though, so i can have cheap practcie with scope (may go .22mag/17hmr) and irons.

Hey, I would trade my xbox for that Sig 522.
Oh man, I would trade... my... car for that.
No wait, I don't have a car.
