But I wouldn’t recommend buying guns with odd chamberings if you don’t already own the essentials.
This writer is all wet with his recommendations. The standard .22 rifle is still the Ruger 10/22.
You’re right, I only pursue the weird stuff because I have the regular bases pretty well covered.
There’s stuff that’s even too weird for me... although I was once tempted by a NIB Gyrojet with ammo.
