FUN RANGE TOYS? BEST OPTIONS?

Does the 10 round mag limit not apply to rimfires?
It does to most, but look up tubular magazine fed rimfires. Marlin model 60, all (most) of the 22 lever guns. I admit I haven't looked at that in a long while but I don't believe it's changed and you can still buy them with the big tube mags. (Or maybe an original Spencer with a mag extension to hold more? 😄)
 
Still applies, but people have freedom week mags.

As an FYI, I believe rimfires are exempt from the AW feature bans, so you can run a .22lr AR without a fin grip or maglock for example.
Correct, for rifles. AW laws apply to pistols whether rimfire or not so be careful to set up your 22lr AR pistol and Ruger Charger in legal configurations.
 
Just bought a HK MP5 .22LR (Umarex) and I can burn through 500 rounds so fast, just plinking away! Super fun gun! Any suggestions on other fun range toys?

Colt SAA (clone) in 45 colt.

50 rds is a lot, probably half that would be satisfying enough at one range trip.

Hearing the 4 clicks of the hammer as you 🐓 it, the boomy recoil, handling “big bullets”, it puts a smile on your face.
 
My decked out CZ 457. I absolutely love this gun. Crazy accurate and ridiculously satisfying to shoot because of how accurate it is. Shooting a .22LR at distances of 150 - 300 yards is quite the fun challenge. It’s also a cheap gun to feed so I can get lots of trigger time.
 
Are you saying that one cannot purchase a Henry H0001, which has a 15 round magazine, in California?

If so, you are wrong and should be ashamed of yourself.
Isn’t that only if they load with .22 shorts? If they load it with .22lr it’s still ten.
 
16740.

As used in this part, “large-capacity magazine” means any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, but shall not be construed to include any of the following:

(a) A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds.

(b) A .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device.

(c) A tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm.
 
I always wrap up my range day with some 12 gauge clay shooting. Its so freaking fun imo shooting at something that is like a frisbee and then disintegrating the smack out of it. Always puts smiles and laughter on faces everytime.
Everyone has a different budget but id recommended a soft recoil gas system 12 gauge that is semi-auto like a Winchester sx3/4, berretta a400, benelli super black 3, Remington 1100, etc. Inertia shotguns are amazing as well Pump shotguns just kicks the shoulder too hard for clays imo and isn't pleasant. Happy shooting.
