Top 6 Fun Guns Under $400
Source: Quote:Some people feel the need to justify every gun purchase. Every new firearm, they figure, must serve a higher purpose if they’re going to shell out hard-earned cash to own it. Maybe it’s the gun that they plan on taking on a once-in-a-lifetime hunt. Perhaps it’s the competition gun that will help them win a title. Maybe it’s the ultimate home defense weapon.
But for the rest of us, here's the big question: Since when do all guns need a comprehensive curriculum vitae? Why not just buy a gun because it’s affordable and loads of fun to shoot
?Sure, plinking cans in the backyard is slightly less ambitious than filling your once-in-a-lifetime bighorn tag or winning the Grand American, but there’s something to be said for whiling away the hours target shooting with no goal in mind other than having fun with friends or family and improving your shooting skills. Here’s a rundown of six guns that are sure to make you smile. Sure, you could use them to fill your freezer or defend your home, but you’re likely to spend more time just shooting these guns recreationally—and have a blast doing it.
Quote:1. Ruger Wrangler
Like any fan of western culture, I wanted this .22 wheelgun as soon as I saw it. When I saw the price I wanted two of them. For under $250 you can own an authentic, American-made Ruger single-action revolver chambered for the ultimate plinking cartridge, and this is a gun that’s sure to bring you hours of fun at the range........
Quote:2. Mossberg Maverick 88

Quote:3. SCCY CPX-1/2RD
Red-dot-equipped pistols are all the rage, but they can be costly. The SCCY CPX-1 and CPX-2 RD is the exception to that rule, though.

4. Taurus TX22
When Taurus launched the TX22, the company set a new standard for affordable rimfire pistol performance. This polymer-framed semi-auto holds 16 rounds of .22 LR ammo and weighs in at a scant 17.3 ounces, so just about any shooter can have fun with these guns. ..........
Quote:5. Winchester Wildcat
Everybody needs a Wildcat. These affordable, reliable .22 semi-auto rifles clock in at just 4 pounds, and have a length of pull (LOP) of 13½ inches. That means that even young shooters can generally handle this gun effectively.......
Quote:6. Savage Rascal Target XP
I cheated a little here. The list is supposed to be limited to guns that are $400 or less, but the $405 Rascal Target XP is too cool to pass up........
"......Loads of fun to shoot
" that all the reason an American needs to purchase any firearm he or she wishes, & they needn't express that need to anyone. It's his/her Right to Keep & Bear Arms, & he/she don't need to convince a damn soul with silly "legitimacy"or "necessity", especially not any government.......they get a gun 'cause they damn well want a gun.....it's the AMERICAN WAY!!! ..
