Default Need a fun gun (rifle)

Any suggestions? I was thinking about a Ruger 10/17, a Berretta CX4 Storm, or maybe sometime of lever gun, don't want a bolt action this time around.

I just got an NEF 44 mag rifle with Synthetic stock. With full power loads it packs a good pop but with 44 special loads, its just a fun little rifle.

What kind of fun do you want to have with it?

For sheer ability to shoot millions of rounds cheaply nothing beats a good .22LR.

How about a Saiga or SKS?
Both are fun and shoot cheap ammo.

I have to go with Big bull and say for a fun gun a 22LR is the way to go. Have you thought about a muzzleloader. You may not get a high volume of fire, but you can have a blast with a blackpowder rifle.

I do have a 22lr already, a marlin 25n, and it is fun. What I am looking for now is something a little different, more range etc.. I currently have a 7mm-08, a 44 mag carbine, and a 30-30, so I don't really need a big-bore at this time. Semi-automatic or a a lever is what I was thinking. What would you add, a .223 or .17hmr, if it was just a fun, plinking, backpack gun?

I think the most fun I ever had was on those younger, care free days sitting on the hill with my old man shooting cans, dirtclods, bees, etc. with an old 22LR
Still have the old man, and the 22LR but my young care free days are gone.

Ah.... think I'll take that old 22 out just to relive some memories.

BTW my fun gun now is a 14" Contender in 38-55

Just for fun, I would pick up a lever 45-70. Or maybe a SKS as Briman described. Or a AK-47. That Berretta storm would be fun, but pricey.
