JonD Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi All, I'm thinking of applying for my FAC shortly and just wanted to get an idea of the costs of a 22LR, Scope & Bipod (and mod if it makes sense). It will preferably be new being my first rifle etc. I'm going to put in initially for target use only while i find some permissions, i'm a member of a rifle club and will also plan to apply for a couple of other calibres. Any suggestions and a rough idea of cost would be appreciated. Cheers, Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 CZ American 16" £340 SAK mod (essential) £30 Harris bipod £70 Slip £20 Scope mounts £30 Scope £200 (don't buy a cheap one, not worth it!) So... £700ish! Just out of interest why not buy used? A .22lr barrel has a very long life and you can alwats insist on shooting it if you're worried about it not being right. You could save a lot of money and get a gun that's pretty much as good as new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretmanabu Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Plenty of good .22 rifles in the secondhand market. You could get kitted out with something nice for less than 400 if you go secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have seen a full kit second hand, having about 100 rounds through it for between 200 and 300 on more than one occasion. Some people just can't get on with a particular gun so they off load them cheaply. I bought my HMR second hand, with a mod, and only paid 260, and my first .22LR was 125 with a mod and three ten shot mags. Nothing wrong with second hand just to see if you like shooting them first.

hodge911 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 i got a ruger 10/22 with simmons scope and proofed mod and case off here for 225 quid :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I would definately go for a good used one . You will never shoot the barrel out on a .22 rimfire and there are always loads for sale on this site . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Cheers I was thinking new because i don't really know good\bad but have a mate that does. It looks like the SH route is a good one. I have to factor in the cost of a second cabinet before hand but not looking as costly as i thought. Jon.
