    Having never owned one, I may take the plunge and sell off a few older .22s and buy a Ruger 10/22. I hear they are nice.
    I actually have never had one until recently...it is still in the box with 2 extra mags on top. I think it is a Deluxe Sporter. The Talo Exclusive is pretty sharp.

    I wish they still made the 10/22 mag! I’ve been thinking about .22 mag semi auto. My dad has the magnum research but that’s more than I want to spend.

    Lots of accessories and mods to make them perfect for you. One of my favorites was adding peep sights to the 10-22 take down I bought long ago.

    OK... for those so inclined, how about sharing your new acquisitions for 2024.

    I started off the year with no will power or discipline and bought a G20 MOS. I didn't even clear week one lol.

    At this point, not sure what dot I'll put on... eventually I suppose a Delta Point Pro because I like the larger window and the ones I have currently have been excellent.

    I don't foresee many firearms purchases this year as I'm pretty set on the things I have wanted. Will spend more time this year adding to the reloading and ammo stash and maybe make some small optic or light upgrades to existing set ups.

    Pics to come...
    I bought a Beretta A300 patrol. Only my second shotgun and I love it. It'll eat anything

    Never been much of a ruger pistol fan but thought id try again. Found this morning and couldn't pass up.This one looks like fun. A Mk2 competition target with an aimpoint.

    That’s pretty! I have a Ruger Standard/MK1 that was my dads, it’s a fun plinker. I love everything Ruger, but mostly a long gun guy so only Ruger pistols I have are that and the new LCP Max. I’m thinking about picking up the 75th anniversary edition MK5. Already got the commerative 10/22 last week.

    Spent 2 hours last evening waiting on BC to pick up new panzer M4. I did not get an approval before the shop closed at 5! Never had to wait that long before. Hoping to get a call from them when they open this morning that it’s good to go. My waits are usually 15-20 minutes.
