Hello, Horta! What part of the bay are you from? I'm from the east bay.

MRPink, it looks like calguns.net gets free shipping, correct? Good luck with your decision! I mentioned earlier, but I got a .380 acp handgun and a Savage .17 hmr rifle over the past year or so. I still would like to get a .22 rifle, but I really want a higher powered centerfire, too! Like you said, so many choices and so little money! I shot a friends Stevens .30-06 over the weekend, and that was fun! A bit pricey to shoot at $1 per bullet for the cheapest stuff! Maybe a .223 would be cheaper to shoot? Well, I don't have money for a gun right now. Get whatever you'd like, and as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters!

As a side note, did you fellow Californians sign that petition to repeal AB962? If you missed it in my past post, here's a link:

I highly recommend that you guys sign that and pass it along to friends to sign!
