i only got mine a few months ago... (only 19) just a stainless ruger 10/22 the sports delux version or something like that. put the scope on it from my pellit gun - kicks less than the pellit gun too- keeps stove pipen the casings tho- sighted in off a rest i love plinking old paint gallon buckets at 150 yards. best was putting a golf ball at 150 (that usually took 2 or 3). but now i am back in california-- i cant just shoot like in idaho-- speakin of first guns- in the middle of writing this post i found a 100 rounds for my old russian m44. that was my first gun. thats a fun one- for only $74 i cant complain-
