My first one was an Ithaca carbine break, single-shot 12 ga at about 14 years old or so. Hunted rabbits with that one.
Sold the Ithaca for a Mossberg 590 pump.
Sold that one for my current Mossberg 930 autoloader that came with 2 barrels. An 18" for HD and a 28 for clays.
I really like the...
How about a Ruger Mini 30 with wood furniture?
Not 'scary'.
Caliber is good for deer, but you could also use a Mini 14 and use the same ammo as your Colt.

I am considering a move from the commie state of MD to a more tax friendly DE.
Problem is, I legally own some NFA firearms, and apparently DE does now allow short barrel items or suppressors.
What are my options?
You don't need to replace every part in order to make a 10/22 a good shooter.
Like an AR15, you do what your wallet can stand, and what you want yours to be when you are 'done'.
Go to RFC and pick an area.
Personally, I like the 'SuperStock' rifles (scroll down to find them).
'SuperStock'...
MD could, and should, recognize reciprocity to other states.
Many of those 'other states' training requirements exceed the MD requirements.
The background check, fingerprinting, and other hoops to jump through are all the same.
So what is the issue with reciprocity?
How about those of us who performed the training and earned out of state carry permits?
Shouldn't those currently held permits 'qualify' for a MD in-state permit?
Randy at CPC did the work on my 10/22.

Trigger, bolt, barrel, bolt hold-open... the whole enchilada.
Awesome work, and the result was a rifle that will group @ .219 (average) or better @ 50 yards.
I have multiple targets to prove it.
