I love my 10-22 but at the end of the day my CZ 455 and 457 are just so accurate you feel like you are cheating. They are a blast to shoot suppressed. All you hear is the firing pin and what you hit. Hollywood quiet for sure. These CZ are heirloom quality that are perfect to pass down to your kids and grandkids at a very affordable price.
Hugo made it all the way to western PA. We had an accident on the drilling rig that day.
Model 60 likely, I have one.
I had a old Remington 552 Speedmaster growing up. I loved that .22 but I finally gave it to a really good friend that kept bugging me about it. He really wanted it for his grandson.
I grew up about an hour north of Charlotte near where @mr.jeffdh is now. Hugo still did a lot of damage despite being so far inland.
Great rifles. My kids would shoot out candles with my original '70âs era âBlue Light Specialâ from K mart.
I have enough. Iâve been giving my 3 firearms ++ to thin things out before I kick off.
We dropped a drill collar (3,000#s of steel) from about 25â in the air and hit a guy in the lower back with it. Couldnât see the from one side of the drilling table to the other. Had to pull the ambulance in and out from the location with the bulldozer. We should have stopped until it passed.
Wow.
I wasnât too far from you. I lived in Huntersville from â93-â98.
Oh crap, I dated a girl from DavidsonâŚ
i love the 10/22 as much as the next guy⌠however my first rifle was given to me at 13 by my stepdad and it was a marlin 60.. back then it shot like crap cause i didnt know to run it wet. but now i love it and it runs great. i also have a marlin 25 bolt action and its an awesome little rifle too. both are a lot of fun and i think each has its own place next to my 10/22s.
iâve never heard of czâs 22âs. sounds like they are a lot of fun though.
as far as hugo was concerned.. it hit here in lexington too.. i slept through it.
Iâm not sure how many guns it takes to be happy.
So far itâs not in the 20âs.
Can confirm it isnât the mid-30s.
When asked how much money is enough, a wealthy person answered âalways a little moreâ.
I still donât know if it is at 160 or not. Being a collector it is different than just being a gun owner. I will always say though it is way more important to me to have quality over quantity. I would still rather 5 high quality firearms over 15 run of the mill firearms. High quality doesnât always mean the most expensive. I prefer to build my own or upgrade factory firearms.
I have found that there are different uses for similar firearms. For example, my 11.3" AR is going to be used differently than a 10.3" and and 16". Knowing the differences, even though they are all 5.56 ARs, is important.
That was Howard Hughes iirc.
Yeah, I got into that a bit myself, but then realized I was building and collecting guns for scenarios they wonât get used. I have a 5.56 and .308 AR that can pop a head at 500 yards easily but both have become safe queens because itâs just not feasible to get out to the one range I can use them around here often. Same with things like the Garand and M1A, pointless to try to shoot them in an indoor 25m range, which is what both of the closest ones around here are.
Past that, another realization was that shooting a few dozen guns often meant I got good at exactly zero of them. Itâs a lot more beneficial (and honestly, fun) to take the same few out and know youâre making progress with them rather than taking out a ton of different ones each time and just running a box through them for no particular reason at all.
Everyoneâs opinion may differ, but those two reasons are why I slowed up big time on my building and purchasing.
this is one i can agree withâŚ
i can also confirm that its not enough to have as many or few as i have. cause whatever that number is, i always am wanting more.
Absolutely a must.
