Ruger 10/22 rifle

 The Ruger 10/22 shown here, is the first gun I've owned.  I inherited it from my Dad.  The whole story I've shared before: http://gordsshooting.blogspot.com/2018/03/a-recollection-of-my-first-step-into.html

This gun is fun to shoot, practically no recoil.  Very easy to clean.  Highly accurate and very easy to clean. 

My troubles have never really been with the gun, but the magazines.  I've tried the BX-25 magazines that hold 25 rounds, but I've had trouble getting them to feed consistently. I've never had feed problems with the 10 round magazines.  So I bought an adapter that connects three 10 round magazines together.  When you're empty, just drop the mag and rotate over to the next full one. 

Some might think the gun is just dirty, but I clean it after every use and keep it in fine working order. 

With the affordability of 22 ammo over 9mm or 357 Magnum, this gun is great for a day at the range and with the kids, as the noise, recoil and accuracy make it an instant hit.

Accuracy (at 25 yards or less): High
Weight: Light
Recoil: Negligble
Ergonomics: Excellent

After owning this firearm, and shooting it at the range, my interest peaked and I began my hunt for my first handgun.
