I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!!

[Marc]

my wife likes both, help me out please

 

[Bubbajms]

I'd rather have the 10/22, I think..

10/22

Get the 10/22 a lot cheaper to shoot and a lot more fun.

 

[BaconGrease]

Definitely the 10/22. You can customize it to your liking and as Simon6101 said "a lot cheaper to shoot."

 

[4sarge]

I voted for both because they are completely different rifles and if you want both and can afford both, why not

 

[Joe Williams]

I'd get the .44, because I already have a .22 I like.

What is she wanting to do with the gun? Targets shoot, shoot squirrels and bunnies, shoot deer, or all the above?

Handloaded, the .44 isn't outrageously expensive to shoot, and you can make ammo suitable for all the above. I know this because last night my wife informed me that as we get back on our feet, she wants a .44 Magnum rifle to replace her .32-20 we just had to sell.

The Ruger 10-22

Both, if you've got the money.

10/22 if you don't.

Everyone knows that the .44 is TWICE as powerful as the .22....

I still voted for the 10/22, though.

And if you have enough money for both...then use the money you would spend on the handi rifle to buy some upgrades for the Ruger. A nice scope and some internal bits.

You'd still have some left over for ammo.

Sure, plinking with a .44mag rifle would be fun... But those Handi Rifles aren't for the recoil shy, that's for sure. Plus, there are only a few animals here in the state that are "hunting eligible" with the .44...provided you're hunting for the meat and not just to kill something.

Just my opinion.

10/22 without a doubt. Its the most fun you can have with your pants still on

 

[IUGradStudent]

The 10/22 is the right choice for almost everyone. Ammo's way cheaper -- great for practice and plinking.

I have a .44 Handi-Rifle and it's great for deer, but I don't plink with it that much. I don't think it kicks too bad (takes a couple dozen rounds before I feel it at all), but if your wife is at all recoil shy the 10/22 will be a lot more fun.

 

[dice dealer]

Both if you can ..
2 totaly different types of rifle and both great gun s in their own right

 

[SavageEagle]

Is it the wife's first? Can she handle the larger caliber? Will it be for target or something else?

i went and bought the 10-22 today and later on ill get the handi rifle.
