RE: Need a fun gun (rifle)
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.

RE: Need a fun gun (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?

RE: Need a fun gun (rifle)
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
