Aust 10 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 As above In terms of reliability, feel, build quality, customisation potential I've had a few 10/22's with alot of mods and dont rate them Thinking more along the lines of Colt, H&K, Sig etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
self_inflicted 70 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I really like my Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22, its a great trainer for AR lovers, and one heck of a .22lr. Thats my two pennies. V/R S_I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmakersmark 15 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I like the S&W. I was strongly considering buying one, but I ran into a deal on a old basket case 10/22. If money wasn't a factor that's what I would have purchased. I have plenty of 10/22 mags and parts, so I decided to go with a Promag Maruader kt. I have about 270 into it and am happy with it for now. Futher plans include a threaded barrel with a supressor. It sure is cheaper to shoot that the Sagia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akastormi 617 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have to admitt i do like my MP15/22. it was a fun rifle to dress up. Runs like a champ, eats everything from CCI Blazzers to russian steel cased ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I suppose it all depends on what TACTICS you plan to use... ( personally, I NEVER THOUGHT any .22LR could be TACTICAL... but in the days of tactical bacon, and the like... I guess ANYTHING can be!!! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 If not a 10/22, then I'd say the sig 522. very nice gun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

( personally, I NEVER THOUGHT any .22LR could be TACTICAL... but in the days of tactical bacon, and the like... I guess ANYTHING can be!!! ) The term "tactical" really needs to have ran it's course and "zombie" has to be about used up by now too. I'm guessing he means evil black rifle scarey looking death machine gun as opposed to run of the mill forefathers type bolt gun look. I bought a sig 522 classic, great gun, eats everything, I got mine in super zombie defense green because it was anywhere from 50 - 80.00 less in green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rvisme 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have the S&W and love it. Chose it for two reasons. #1=$$ and #2= when you pop it open it actually resembles an ar. Open up a colt or mossberg, not so much. Not that it makes it better just shortens the disassembly/assembly learning curve. Also got the MOE version. Not much left to do but shoot.

devildogdakota 804 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have to admitt i do like my MP15/22. it was a fun rifle to dress up. Runs like a champ, eats everything from CCI Blazzers to russian steel cased ammo. This is EXACTLY what I want. I know the barrels come threaded, and that can be useful in a major zombie attack. I read an article a while back about different SHTF scenarios, and one guy made a lot of sense talking about having a .22 lr as a great good cheap round to take down two as well as four legged predators, as well as varments and game, of course with well placed shots, which isn't that difficult, due to the accuracy of a .22 ( within reasonable distance, of course). What really appealed to me was that he mentioned that a guy could carry well over 10,000 rounds in a backpack, and that could seriously demoralize a bunch of zombies. Couple that with a nice sound suppressor to an already quieter bullet and a bunch of extra magazines, one guy on a recon could raise some serious sleeplessness for some bad guys, imagine a group of em!

Scott Kenny 144 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Sig522 is nice, but needs to run wet. I'd love to find an AK in .22LR, just for familiarization (hell, or even an airgun) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magsite20 1,664 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I’m more with the group that really doesn’t see the .22 lr as a practical choice for a tactical weapon. While I’d like one around for possible survival uses on small game I’d want something with more punch and distance for possible “OMG they’re trying to kill me” stuff. Might think about an AR and a .22 conversion kit. Added: I suppose some of it comes down to how big the tactical situation is you are addressing?: Edited February 13, 2012 by 20-Mags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xICEMANx 13 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have the Sig 522 and the S&W M&P15-22. Both have proven to be 100% reliable with whatever ammo I throw at them. I like them both alot, but decided to keep the S&W and am selling the 522. Only reason is because the Smith fits my son ALOT better and is about a 1lb lighter. I had the 522 as a trainer for my 556 but have decided to go back to the AR platform simply due to weight and the ammount of aftermarket support. You can't go wrong with either. The Sig is heavier and feels more like a real gun to me. I have the MOE version of the M&P and plan on setting my AR up exactly the same. Either one will work well as a "tactical" .22.

Lone Eagle 839 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I just dropped the hammer on a CMMG true .22LR upper. Cousin has one, and it's a great plinker that has the heft adn feel of a 5.56 upper. Nice thing is, I can swap to my 5.56 or 6.8 upper if I need the extra punch. You can't swap uppers on most dedicated .22LR ARs, and the accuracy on the conversion kit is iffy. Only advice if you go CMMG is order a couple of extra mags. They will only guarantee it to feed with CMMG or Black Dog mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 The only "tactical.22" is an AR-7. One that apes your tactical is a trainer. Damn good thing to have, I NEED one in an AK. The same sight picture as my Romy. If you can hit it with a .22 you will hit it when using the tactical. The .22 lets you build muscle memory faster, you can shoot a lot more rounds a lot cheaper, faster and more comfortably. The AR-7 serves a tactical purpose that neither an AR or AK can.

magsite20 1,664 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 While I think 22s are great there are some things they just aren’t suited for, some times even a small problem can be too big for the wrong cartridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shandlanos 1,470 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 My WASR-22 isn't the most reliable rifle in the world, but it's cool as hell! Same thing with my Lakeside Machine beltfed .22-cal AR-15 upper - basically a miniaturized 1919 based on the Tippman design, turned into an AR upper. Takes a lot of tweaking to get them running correctly. Cloth belts and plastic disintegrating links - loads of fun when it runs. Same action and manufacturer as this lovely little SMG: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ironhead7544 35 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 A suppressed Ruger 77/22 with scope would be my choice. Since the 22lr would not be used as an assault rifle the bolt would work just fine. Would feed any ammo unlike some semiautos. Rugged design and takes 10/22 magazines.
