22 LR I have at least one of all of the other parts LOL... I may as well put one together. I don't need anything high end for target; this would be a plinking gun.
SW Indiana would be preferred.
I love both equally... kind of like kids! but it depends on what you are looking to use it for. If you are punching holes in paper, either is great. If you are looking to swap parts out all the time, go with an AR. Smaller varmits, I think AR has better longer range accuracy, so would be a...
I really don't think you can go wrong with either the Savage or Rem. I honestly believe that you are to the point of personal preference. What about a father son shopping trip to pick it out? Firearms are family heirlooms in my family and what better memory than your son buying you a rifle...
I have the CZ 452 with the 16" threaded barrel (with appropriate adapter obviously) and I would be hard pressed to shoot more accurately with any gun. It is amazing. CZ puts a great machine together, not to mention they look great.
I like my Judge a lot. It is the gun I keep on me in the yard and when I take walks. My rationale is that if I have to use it on an animal, bird shot won't likely riccochet and result in a secondary issue. If you need it for personal protection, lets face it, the LC45 and 00 buck that are...
The reason I purchased one was that when my wife and I go walking, dogs always seem to run up and generally act aggresive. I could carry any number of handguns, but as we live in a neighborhood, I have a concern, that however unlikely, a bullet could ricochet and an odd angle and hit a house...

Normally Whittacres is my first and last stop LOL. They occationally have a couple of AK styles, but not normally more than a very few. If it were anything else, though... I would already be driving! :) Moonlight is always tasty too...
I was probably wondering more about stores in...
