my 10/22 has run pretty good. aside from cheap ammo its gone through everything I stuck in it without a hitch. even picked up some aquila colbri ammo for it. stuff is quieter than my shrouded air benjamin discovery but it doesnt hit quite as hard. have to say I have been really surprised at what airguns are capable of. my 10/22 might get a bit dusty if I keep tinkering around.

Most of the talk about why one cartridge is better than another is really just talk.
For deer hunting in my area anything in the 270, 38, 30/06 class of firearms are really pretty much the same.
My 30/30 and 44 marlin are just as good for 80% of the hunting I do

Howdy JJ!

Does that make it harder to buy?

Yes
If it is a pistol then it is classed restricted and can only be shot at a range.
The same rules apply to it as any other pistol.
If it is a rifle then it is non-restricted, but the same rules apply as if it was a rifle.
Under 500 fps than it is not federally regulated

I really like my CZ 452 for a bolt 22. One of the best modern bolt 22 rifles.
