My First Semi-Auto!

I picked this up a couple days ago...it's the first gun I've actually bought myself and not found laying around my home. It's a Mossberg 715 flat top .22lr

Reason i got a .22 is because right now..I don't have $1500 to throw in for a 5.56 AR-15...and for Target shooting and what not this gun is perfect for me. I'm liking the 500 rounds for 20 dollars plan.

Haven't taken the gun out to shoot yet but I'm hoping to this week. Been customizing it a little and hoping to order in some sights...grips and what not next week.

Anyone else have experience with one of these? Image

Dang, I paid $320 for my 7.62x39 Saiga...only a hundred more and I coulda had a .22? :chuckles:

Looks nice, have to give us a range report on it. Can't beat a .22 for just spending a whole day out shooting though, I have an Armscor M1600 that's their attempt to make a .22 that looks like the AR platform, lots of fun and accurate too! :thumbsup:

Let us know how it shoots. I've been thinking about something like that.

he would love it...doesn't really have a kick so it will be easy for him to shoot, and the looks cool factor for him as well. not to mention it can use almost all mods you could put on an ar. minus the pistol grip.
