Yeah, we have a 10-22 and everyone loves "Playing" with it but i couldn't imagine it standing up to some of the cool/fun factors of the m&p. I'd have kids standing in line for that thing! and i have enough for a line! Ha ha

You are lucky to live in a country where you can own that, for the joy of it.
I m jealous because in Canada, not a chance, best i can get is an SKS , or an M14.
I would almost emigrate for that.

Very nice, Chris! Kelci likes shooting waaaaay more than I expected. I put up a silhouette in the back yard this past Saturday and asked her if she wanted to practice a bit. She said she only wanted to shoot a couple rounds. Yeah right. A couple rounds turned into 5-6 magazines worth.

Sorry, no photos. Next time!

I went by The Outdoorsman today... about $400 for the M&P 15-22. Time to start saving my pennies. I might have to sell the Bronco to pay for my new hobby!

Might wanna keep a 'Bug-Out' rig just in case... You could cut a turret hole in a used craigslist shell though!

I've been trying to balance gun purchasing and finishing my Bronco lately too. I have a pretty short list of guns/accessories and i'll feel "Done" for awhile. New rifle safe, either the walmart sentry "10-Gun" (like $349ish) or the $500 costco one (Trying to pinch pennies here). Then, i'm buying a socom II, another Remington 870 but just a totally fun, tactical frankengun and one more glock (22 or 23). Then i'm gonna chill out awhile. Already have a decent armory goin but those are what i want to round it off... Besides maybe Steve ruining/adding to the list with the 15-22 ha ha wife's bummed jk

I'm good after the 15-22. The only other gun I might like to get is a .22 M&P handgun for the wife to practice with and for cheap plinking.

I am glad to see others struggle with their addictions and that their "play"money is split. At least I am not alone. Oh and by the way go for the socom. Just finished mine in a Troy stock with a 1x4 trijicon scope in a larue mount. I am now holding off on guns for a while.

Oh man... My good buddy bought one from a friend of a friend (FFL Broker) brand new, extra mags, total $1400 (reedic IMO). I could've gotten one too but i was kinda strapped for cash. He took it shooting once (with new scope) and later finds out his kid got accepted to an expensive school. calls me about the fire sale and i told him i could do 1200 asap we go hit & miss trying to meet up for about 6 weeks and i end up buying my extended beam kit cause i didn't think it was really goin anywhere... just shortly before he calls and says he had another buyer anyways, i've had a couple other lines on some that have a lot more use, weren't as nice and not much of a $ deal. so now i'm just waiting. Always kick myself on that deal though, mainly because i knew the owner, the price and condition of the rifle so well. This last AR i just bought was a good deal where another good buddy (Armorer), who's building a custom AR-10 and needed money to finish it. He has a ton of other sweet stuff so he sold me his newer complete mint stag 2HT with only 2 shooting trips on it for $765. He did a few things to it and he's good at everything. So now i'm just trying to lay in wait when i can, til people wanna dump stuff. I have a good DROS help too.

Steve,
Here is some pics of the 15/22. Collapsed length on the butt stock is 32". Broken down it is 24".
This should change your mind on going with the Ruger. With a 1x3 scope it is a blast to shoot.

[SteveG]

I like it! I can't decide what I want first. The MP15-22 or the mp-22 pistol. Supposedly my in-laws are giving us a .22 rifle (don't have any idea what it is), so maybe the pistol. My justification is that is that over the course of a few years it will more than pay for itself in ammo savings for target practice. Right?

[damon1272]

Using the 22 to train with will cut costs considerably and in a while will definitely pay for itself.

There you go talking all crazy again Steve. Are you off your meds again?
