Looking for a used reasonably priced 22 bolt rifle . My nephew just turned 13 and I would like to get him his first 22 bolt rifle

You’re probably better off going to a local shop unless someone on the forum is close to you, considering shipping and transfer at your dealer would bring the cost to quite a bit more money.

The above advice is solid, try to buy local.

Yea , thanks guys
I kinda figured that, but you never know what might come along …

I went to a local shop yesterday to buy a nice older Marlin , but when I got there the guy apologized because it was a 22 mag …..:-(

Have you visited Doc's Gun Shop on Rt.32 in Saugerties? I never knew they were there until about a year ago. Also a motorcycle shop.

Is the guy with all the shipping containers still in Saugerties

Hi Greg
Thanks for the info about “Docs”
I didn’t know they were a gun shop either..

Hi Rich
That guy your thinking of was Robins Brothers,
No they have been gone for some time now

I ended up ordering a new Rossi bolt action 22
You could get the gun brand new for around $200 , and they have good reviews

I also found a last minute deal on gun broker .i bid on a Romanian 22 LR bolt action training rifle , nice condition, i won the bid for $173 plus shipping and tax ..

Now I got 2-22’s coming , gotta figure out which one to give the kid

Thanks for your help guys
Bob

Got a Glenfield Marlin semi rifle with scope if interested.
