Ruger 10-22. Sold it by way of a personal protest (yeah, I know..stupid) when Ruger got weird on us, but later bought another one.
not knocking the 10/22 , never owned one , more of a curiosity question ,what makes people gravitate to it ,is it the capacity? ive always been a Marlin .22 guy ,and they have always served me well ,so i never considered shelling out the extra dough for the 10/22Ruger 10-22.

In my personal case it was because a guy I went ground squirrel shooting with had one and scored a lot highernot knocking the 10/22 , never owned one , more of a curiosity question ,what makes people gravitate to it ,is it the capacity? ive always been a Marlin .22 guy ,and they have always served me well ,so i never considered shelling out the extra dough for the 10/22
thanks for the reply , i can understand that , thats pretty much why im a 870 shotgun guy , it was my first because thats what my step father had , and i tend to stick to what i knowIn my personal case it was because a guy I went ground squirrel shooting with had one and scored a lot higher
than I did with the bolt action single shot I had borrowed since I didn't have my own .22. I shot his and bought
one for myself.
My former department permitted privately owned duty weapons. I bought a beater 870 at a pawn shop dirt cheap and had it set up. I still have that gun and it now sports a 14" VangComp barrel and mag follower and the side carrier that I designed in conjunction with them. It is my "greeter gun" for unwelcome visitors. Also fun is the looks I get when I used to shoot birds with it. Two wild boar (Brenneke Classic Magnum) and our turkey one Thanksgiving long ago. There are lots of newer designed shotguns on the market now but I'm old and like old stuff I guess.thanks for the reply , i can understand that , thats pretty much why im a 870 shotgun guy , it was my first because thats what my step father had , and i tend to stick to what i know
