question about a cheap gun

[profet]

me and a friend want to get a cheap rifle, just like a .22 or something similar, so that we have something to shoot while we go camping.

does anyone know how much this would cost? we have never bought a gun before, and have no idea, we want to spend as little as possible.

thanks

Do a search for rifle and check out the ruger or marlin thread

All will be answered there!

Go to a gun store and see what they have. Or Wally World if they sell guns there in your state. You can probably get a decent used .22 for $60-70 at a gun store.

Be careful and check firearm regulations where you go camping. Many National Forests prohibit firearms.

Ruger 10/22.
Don't forget hearing protection.

Even with 22LR, you NEED ear plugs. Your ears will ring for several hours, even from such a small round.

Springfield makes a nice packable 22LR scout/survival rifle, but it's probably not cheap. A Ruger 10/22 is like $150 new, just get one of those, they're light and easily packable
