So, I've been looking to get back into shooting. With that, I've been debating this internally for some time, and while I think I've made a decision - I'd like some outside input in case there's an angle or point I haven't thought of.
So, I currently own a stock Remington 597 and a Marlin 915y. I've had various issues with my 597, and everything I've read says to dump a min. of about $50 into it for parts (which availability for them seems to be few and far between) to make it run smooth. As far as the Marlin goes, well - it's a single shot kids rifle, so...
My thought is to sell / trade them and pick up a 10/22. Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions, etc. to add to why this or is not a good idea? Appreciate any feedback.
