How does Kahrtalk feel about .22lr "tactical" rifles??

If I were to get a new .22 it would be a 10-22 as well. I have a Marlin Model 60 and a Marlin 882SS 22 mag. now. The Model 60 is very accurate and picky about ammo it will not feed the cheap bulk ammo. I will not part with my Model 60 as my mom and I went to Buckeye Mart when I was 15 and she bought it for me. At any rate I think for the money and with all of the aftermarket options out there the 10-22 is a great little rifle. Just my opinion.

Wifey got home just before I made that last post.

After she changed and I got her a glass of wine to unwind with... and seated her in my computer chair, I showed her what I did today with the Ruger. She just said be careful.

The Ruger was $237 + 7% tax at Wally World, so that was the price to beat at the gun show, but the only stock 10/22's I saw were ~$260+tax and none like what I wanted.

I took a bunch of photos and several video clips, but I'm worried about posting some info on some of the stuff... like my Tipton Cleaning Patch Catcher that I tried to keep from spreading so much unburned powder about the living room. It had a somewhat quietening effect on the Subsonic and powderless .22 ammo that I tried. I also fired one of each without anything to lessen the sound... one Subsonic and then one powderless Colibrì round in quick succession... touching holes. The Subsonic Remington cycled well and loaded the Colibrì which fired but didn't move the bolt.

I'll have to work on that post later tonight, though... cooking and still doing chores.

M&p 15-22

I bought the M&P 15-22 new from a store in PA on Gunbroker for $330 delivered. I use it for CMP rimfire sporter matches and it works great. I did had the trigger done a little lighter.

Buy what you like and enjoy it. You can never have enough fun guns, especially in .22, you get to shoot for a long time with a $19 box of bullets.

Now beware that the AR style and 10/22 rifles both have a HUGE variety of aftermarket accessories available. If you get infected with accessorieitis it can get expensive.

I used my M&P 15-22 at a 2-day shoot this past weekend. It performed admirably. I also had the chance to shoot a 10-22, but it was not comfortable because of the length of the stock. LOL! I had a Magpul party after getting my 15-22.

My first choice if you could find one(hard to do now) is the Remington Nylon 22. They are light, shoot forever with minor maintenance and is a good size for kids and the wife( my wife claims it as her squirrel rifle). A Ruger is a good choice due to the amount of add-ons available and they are reasonbly priced. Also, there are a lot of used ones out there you may buy from a private gun show sale or citizen and no paperwork(at least here in S.C.)
Have fun looking.
