My grandfather is now in his late 80's, and is having trouble with either gophers or groundhogs on his property. He has an ancient .22 long rifle that he used to use regularly (and take care of). He called yesterday and said he couldn't get his rifle to fire, so I checked it out and the thing is a mess. Like a mess to the point where I don't want to even bother trying to get it back into good shape. I've been considering picking up a rifle anyways, so this would be as good a time as any, so we both can use it.
With that being said, I have a friend in LE who can get me his price on a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport. It retails for around $700, I can get it for about $520. From the looks of it, it's a .223/5.56 round. That's probably a little overkill for varmint, but the price would be absolutely right.
As someone who has never owned either a rifle, or a Smith and Wesson product, do you all have any thoughts?
