Saw a new Magnum today

bearcatter · January-02-23 15:01

The standard short barrel 1 1/8 inch Magnum with bird's head wood grips. Not the convertible. The NAA-22MS for those that like being technical. My local Sportsman's Warehouse, $229, $10 off list. Just for fun, I looked and not a single box of .22 WMR for it. That should really help them sell it....

Well, I've been gathering up 22 mag ammo when I can find it over the last few years. Some of it has gone from $2 a box to $20 but
I have a good cache now. Finding a NAA revolver, now that's a challenge here locally. $:-\$

Bearcatter,
I hope that you can get that magnum and are able to locate the ammo for it soon.

I noticed last night GunBroker has a quite a few Mini's listed. 25 pages. It's been awhile since they have had that many.

Not me, I don't need any new ammo or guns, I don't have room. 29K .22 and 7K .32. Any more NAA would be a .22LR only Ranger or Guardian.

Bearcatter,

Maybe there might be a LITTLE room for yet one more mini??? They are small and don't take up much space!!!!

One more mini? I don't have any mini. I've got a little room for a little gun, but I go berserk with new guns. If it was a convertible, I'd feel obligated to hunt up a pile of WMR ammo. I'd want a bunch of spare parts. I'd want every grip and every holster.

My recent .22 AR is an example. It was about $460 OTD. Then there's the case. Sling and mount. Green dot. Cheap laser. Battery supply. Twenty mags, ten of each size because of the anti-guns..

.. A bunch of parts. Scope and mount.....I've spent about 2 grand total. I could kick myself....

..

..At least everything is exactly what I wanted and the optics were inexpensive models. I could have easily spent a lot more.

I bought the gun Halloween. I've only been to the range once, and didn't even get it fully sighted in. I might have all the sights (four!) within six inches. I just got the scope last week, I've sighted it to the laser's POI in the house at 35 feet, until I can do better. At least the scope was my final addition.

I havent bought a new firearm in going on 5 years now. The quality control is atrocious for all manufacturers and i am not going to be their beta tester.

bearcatter · January-04-23 13:01

The 15-22 came out in 2012, mine is second gen that started in 2016. It had some issues and a recall the first year but reviews great since then. So I took the chance, so far so good. The only other guns I've bought since 2015 were my barely used 40 year old Zastavas, They seem to have had good QC back then...

....Only difference I've found in my three is slightly different fits of the barrel bushing. They all even shoot the same.

The 2015 gun is a .22 SP101. Best quality gun I've ever owned. Fit and finish perfect, the numbers are perfect, no tool marks. One tiny ding in front of the trigger guard. Trigger was good, but I still did Wolff springs for better. Ruger was having a good day......

Nobody makes guns like they use to even NAA ,sorry to say . The interior of the guns need to be finished out also .

.

Since I have several .22WMR firearms, including a BW, I bought a full case of the ammo about 20 years ago, and I still have several hundred rounds left - which should last me until I go for my Dirt Nap.

Bearcatter,
You don't have a mini?? I think you better get one (or more) in the convertible configuration. This way it will keep you very busy.

In all honesty,I don't know one person who purchased a mini,did not wind up getting a couple (or few) more shortly thereafter.

That's what I'm afraid of. ...

Now that I'm finished spending stupid on the rifle, I'm done. I have too many guns. I have enough ammo, cleaning gear, etc. to outlast me. The Bearcats are mini enough.
