Looking to buy a rifle.

Hey everyone,

Nice to find this group. I was wondering if anybody has a nice semiautomatic rifle for sale in Lincoln. Just let me know what you have. I will be a first time gun owner, although not a first time shooter. Or also if you know of any other classifieds or whatever websites feel free to let me know.

Thanks!

First of all, WELCOME!  Glad to have you here. 

Second, for classifieds try here: http://www.nebraskafirepower.com/forum/index.php?board=9.0

Every once in a while you'll see a gun or 2 on Craigslist, but the ads get flagged pretty quickly.

What kind of rifle are you looking for?  For your first rifle I would suggest a nice used semi-auto in .22 long rifle.  Cheap to shoot and cheap to buy.  You should be able to find something decent for under $100. 

If you are new to guns, I would suggest at least enrolling in a hunters safety course first before  you buy a gun.

Nice, I guess I didn't scroll down that far.

I have done a bit of shooting with some degree of training before with a 22 @ a rifle club.

Thanks for welcoming message

Another suggestion, if you're relatively new to shooting.  I would highly recommend looking into attending an Appleseed event.  You'll pick up a lot of great marksmanship pointers.  There's one scheduled in Hastings for July 24th & 25th:
