Speaking of Guns…

I bought a new rifle on Saturday. I can’t pick it up until the 14th, but at least it’s an almost done deal.

I bought the Ruger 10/22 Carbine for my son. I of course get to plink with it as well, but I needed something that he and my wife wouldn’t mind shooting. My Kel-Tec SU 16B has a little more kick than they want to deal with. Never mind the 12 gauge.

Here’s the SU-16:

And here’s the Remington 870 Express Magnum:

870 Synthetic

My son wanted the synthetic stock with the stainless barrel. It’s lighter than its wood stock cousin.

1022

Can’t wait to take him out shooting with it. He seems to be a natural shooter. I need to take advantage of that and get him out more.

From what I can tell, you can get fairly ridiculous with the add-ons and modifications with the 10/22.

I’ll look into it more when he is more proficient at the basics of marksmanship.
