Sweetest .22 since the G22

[Baphomet 0]

Later this summer. A local gun store is getting a shipment of these.

I'm a huge rimfire enthusiast and I have to say after having the run of a wide assortment of .22 caliber rifles. I must say, this is the most eyecatching since the G22.

Since the Evolution .22 stock isn't easily available in Canada here. This is just... huge. It satisfies all my urges for an assault rifle style .22 rifle... that's nonrestricted (and with a unit-cost of under 1000 dollars).

It's as sexy to me as an SL8, only moreso, because it's a .22, with the option to install a lower mil-spec rail and you know what that means? I can install a lovely foregrip . I can't think of anything more wonderful on a pistol grip .22 rifle.

It's going to be my birthday present to myself. I can't wait to take one out and get a few gophers. I also can't wait to scare all the cottage people who live a few miles down from all the farms I go shooting on.

Looks cool but I was asking myself, what has a gopher ever done to you? Besides annoy you when that guy on the love boat was named after one.

Gophers, like all rodents (especially bunny rabbits), are natural born assholes and deserve to get shot.  

Baphomet,

Looks nice. Not likely that I'll be finding one of those in a local gun store, but I guess you could always order one from the US if you really wanted one. Of course, I'd rather buy the Evolution. Too bad they don't make them for 597's.

I think natural slection deaths (inc. Cats getting them etc) are enough. Don't need guys running around, thinking they are big, shooting animals which have about as much defence as a plastic bag.

But anyways......................

Cats, humans, it's still natural selection. Second, humans have far inferior senses, the animals we shoot are not even remotely defenceless compared to us. The rifle just makes it a bit more even. Rodents detect their enemy with their sight, smell, and hearing, and we humans happen to be clumsy, large, smelly and noisy. Being unable to dodge bullets isn't the same as being defenceless

But anyways...................... you left the smilie out of the quote. And this is all off topic.

Gophers and other varmints destroy gardens if you've got one, and anyways, I don't think Baphomet will mess up the Canadian eco-system too badly.

That's a nice looking rifle Baphomet, what is the cost?

Scratch my previous comment - that 45ACP is a bit of an abomination. I'll stick with my FMJ 303...

That R22 is a damn nice gun I must say though.

Meh, i'd get a AK. you can find them so ridiculously cheap too. they cost half of what some good quality hand guns would cost.

Now that pisses me off, if that's a new one. It's around 750€ over here.

And that's a Glock 21C, not Glock 17.
