I kind of want to buy a Larue PredatOBR...

THIS. I just dont have the money.. They will also be increaseing the prices I just heard by about 7-10% (I think thats what it was, will check)..Never bought a product from them but seems like they treat everyone really well.

one of my sks's, got bored and painted it flat black.

Looks good. I painted my SKS stock OD green and now I'm thinking about stripping it off and just oiling the stock...

Even though I had already wanted one the price increase is definitely one of the reasons I'm thinking more about it. There's also like a 16+ week wait on all of their rifles so that gives some time to set money aside. It goes into effect on July 1st so I've still got a little bit of time to make up my mind.

I got two other russian ones that are laminated stocks they look real good, but i paid like 150 bucks for this chinese one came with 300 rounds, the chinese stocks are real shitty looking.

alright bikeguiders, i have yet another question.

i know a few pages back I was asking about a 12 gauge purchase that i was considering making. however a buddy of mine was talking to me and now i'm leaning toward a semi .22.

basically i'm not sure which gun would make the most sense. i have a blast shooting my pistol when i get a chance, but i can't decide which of these would be a good purchase for myself.

i don't shoot clays a whole lot, and as of this point in my life i don't hunt anything.
i would like to mess around shooting squirrels and rabbits around my house, maybe a bit of target shooting if i had the .22.
plus shooting the .22 would be much cheaper than buying shells but for some reason i keep trying to tell myself that a 12 gauge would make some sort of sense, but i think a .22 would be more fun. (an less expensive of a purchase, not including a larger mag / scope i would probably pick up) i have been looking at ruger 10/22's as thats what my buddy had suggested i look at.

also- i have coyotes around my house as well. a small round like a .22 won't kill a coyote, correct? and how much bigger might i need to go?
edit: and on the bigger rifle size... how much more expensive would that size rifle be to purchase compared to a .22, and how much more would ammunition be? or a good guess?)

thanks

.22 will kill a coyote with a well placed shot and supersonic loads, shot a few with my 10/22 that ate my cat.

something i just thought of: does anybody know if buying a gun at cabelas/bass pro is a good idea, i wouldn't know if they are overpriced, underpriced, or about like any other gun store?
reason i'm asking is because i have 230 dollars in bass pro gift certificates and there is one only 40 minutes away so thats what i was planning on putting toward my purchase.

It depends on the market/what is around them.  The cabelas I worked at had a giant family owned gun store nearby, so the prices were in check.  If you buy something on a sale it will be an alright price.  Do they have used guns?  If so do that.  Or buy sale ammo.

[master]

The big name stores are okay, like Bird said just check around for prices and catch a sale.

Just buy a 10/22 and call it a day. They are the most popular .22 for a reason.

I love my 10/22. Its great for putting a lot of rounds down range cheaply. Its dead on accurate at 100 yards. Quiet, no recoil and easy for everyone to shoot.

Having said all that, I've been enjoying my shotguns a lot more than my .22 lately. Been shooting clays quite a bit. There's a lot more of a challenge with that than my scoped 10/22 with a bipod.
