I've always been a big fan of firearms. I like looking at them, I like watching them being shot, and most of all, I like shooting them. My parents didn't believe in guns in the house, so I was completely unexposed to firearms except for movies and video games. For my best friend's 18th birthday, his dad took him, myself, and another friend to a gun range which rented out SMGs. I had shot air rifles before, so I had a general idea of how to aim etc. It was at this point in time that I fired my first gun, an Uzi. It was alright, but not nearly as cool as the MP5 I got to shoot afterwards. We finished off the day shooting a Model 1911 (.45 of course, as all 1911s should be IMO). Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
It was only a matter of time before I ended up with my own firearm. I've always been a fan of rifles. I like the way they're held; I like accuracy and long range. I don't mind a kick. In fact, I take great enjoyment from it. I was thoroughly disappointed the first time I fired a .22. It felt just like the air rifle I fired when I was 14. Sure, a .22 might be fun for plinking cans, but I want something that does justice to the term "firearm". Well, in talking to some friends I finally found a decent price for my favorite rifle of all time, which indeed meets all my criteria (basically being that it fires a decent sized round). So tomorrow I'm sending out my order form, and I look forward to joining in the ranks of those exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.
So what rifle am I getting? Guess.
First clue: It's not a .22 (duh), and it's very well-known.
