Hi folks - I have an interesting dilemma to share with everyone.

I'm interested in buying and using a .22 LR for plinking at an outdoor range, but my girlfriend doesn't want me to buy one until I 'really get into the habit of shooting'.

You can probably see my dilemma - I can't buy a rifle until I show her that I'm serious about shooting, and I can't shoot until I buy a rifle!

Sort of a chicken or the egg thing.

SO - I'm hoping to borrow someone's rifle, take her out shooting some day with something light and simple like a Ruger 10/22, and show her how much fun it is, with the hopes that she will let me buy one afterward.

Is there anyone in the Phila region who would consider lending a Ruger 10/22 or similar to a responsible newbie?

thanks!
