A rifled barrel spins the shot and causes it to spread greatly soon after exiting the muzzle. A smooth bore shotgun doesn't have that problem.

Just personal opinion, but given the choice for comparable pricing I prefer good used top quality over brand new lower tier. I figure if I decide I want something different later I have a better chance of getting my original investment back. It’s worked so far. YMMV.
Ruger pc-9 and ruger p-85. Rifle and pistol both 9 mm, take the same magazine. Rifle gives round a little more power.
Just recently available.
You can also get 16 round mags for it too.
New Jersey classifies commonly owned semi-automatic .22 rifles as "assault firearms." New Jersey imposes a 10-year prison sentence with a minimum mandatory three to five years, even if the gun owner had a New Jersey Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and the .22 was lawfully purchased prior to the ban.

I don’t eat quail eyes anyway so it works great for me.
I have one (M1A) and I can shoot the eye out of a chipmunk at 300 yards.
I have shot really nice M1A’s that shoot really well, but my SOCOM is not one of them.
Yeah I dont like a short barrel on a 308. 18 is about as short as I like to go. My Savage Scout is 20 and its just right.
been using stingers in my 10-22 since 1992. just fyi...
Note to left handed people on the Kel Tec SUB-2000, you get spryed with unburned powder as the shell ejects. If not for that, I would have kept my sub since it was so compact.
Does the “Stingers” work okay in the 10/22, or have you had any problems?
The stingers have worked good all these years. I usually know when to clean my rifle so no issues in reliability. I don’t constantly use stingers due to cost but when I use stingers, they work reliably. I have fired them into gallon jugs of water- they mushroom well. Close to .30 inch diameter.
Thats my opinion that they would work in your AR-7. That extra power in a stinger may come in handy when your firearm is dirty and you need it to cycle. The Ruger 10-22 is complex compared to a bolt gun or even a Henry AR-7 and stingers work in uger 10-22s so yes. Give it a try.
If not, CCI (who makes stingers at 32 grains), makes a 40 grain hollowpoint called velocitator that goes faster than regular high velocity 40 grain hollowpoints.
Okay, that’s good to hear. I’ll check them out.
hindsight being 20/20 I think you are correct. You need at least 18” to stabilize a .308 round. .308 is pretty picky with bullet weight and twists. I remember trying to shoot “Special Ball” in a national match rifle with a barrel made for “National Match.” The results were not very good.
