Lemme know if memes aren't alright, I see that both the armed queers comm and this one (along with a bunch of other small guns comms) are basically just single poster communities, so I figured I'd crosspost to help contribute when I see something that'd be a good fit :)

Of dozens of guns, a lever gat is the one type I don't have. All I can afford are .22s. :(

I wasn't sure but it looks like they do actually make them in .22. I'm pretty broke too, I have no guns ๐Ÿ˜… but that's okay, I wouldn't have much opportunity to go shooting right now anyway

I know that Henry makes them in .22 at least in the golden boy line. I assume they also do in lines that aren't specifically designed to be pretty/expensive.

But if you're going to get a .22, you might as well get a bolt action .22, since they're stupid accurate.

Huh, I don't think I knew that. I'd probably pick the lever just for funsies, but that's helpful to know, thanks for the tip! :)

I've hit a squirrel in the eye at 100 yards before with a .22 bolt action rifle.

Lots of .22 versions! By far the most affordable and I already have 8 or so .22LR and .22WMR pistols and rifles.
