Ruger 10/22 or S&W M&P15-22?

[kazaam]

So, I don't know which one I want. I initially wanted the 15-22, but theyre just kind of expensive right now.

The only reason I really wanted the 15-22 was because I wanted an AR in .22lr, except now, I'm thinking it doesn't really matter whether it's an AR or just any semi auto .22lr.

Thoughts? Thanks guys!

10/22 all the way

If you own a AR then get a 22 bolt kit and be done. If not then the 15-22.
I've owned a Ruger 10-22 and was never impressed. The Marlin 60 is a better shooter.

If you want a AR style the. It answers the question. I'd just wait it out. Or goto a gun show and drop $100 on a nice Model 60.

Why stop with one of them? They're both good guns, pick the one you like the most and buy it and then later buy the other one.

If you want an AR style get the SR22 or just buy the 10/22 and there are a bunch of aftermarket AR style kits for it. I have a target model 10/22 and it is a tack driver also have a SR22 and it is the nicest AR style 22 I have seen short of buying an actual 22 upper.

I have and love both.

I have the 15 22 and it is such a fun gun. I have a red dot on it and the thing is a tack driver!

Buy one now.

Buy the other later.



In all seriousness, I have both and they are both great! You won't be disappointed with either.

I would buy the 10/22 then later purchase a dedicated .22LR upper for a AR-15 lower. This way you have the correct rifling twist for the 22LR in a AR platform vs a conversion bolt kit.

Nothing wrong with the 15-22. I just wasn't partial to the light weight feel of it and sold it.

 

[kazaam]

Yeah, that sounds good. Get a 10/22 soon, then a dedicated .22lr upper for an ar-15 later (if we're still allowed lol).

Thanks guys!

If you are an AR guy then the 15-22 is a cheap way to train with a rifle that functions just like an AR. I have both and say just buy the one that fits your needs best...there is no bad choice between the two.

I say get the 10/22. Then mod it to be more like an AR. you can always take it back to stock whenever your want. Here is my sons 10/22.

His conversion is the archangel 5.56 conversion kit approx $100.
He is saving for his red dot sight as we speak. speaking of which I think I need some wood split!

10/22..m and p's are over rated in my opinion

 

[tmanbuddyy]

10/22 all the way

 

[kazaam]

What's the deal with the marlin 60? Should I really be considering it over the 10/22?

 

[Bikerdad61]

Can't go wrong with a 10/22 and lot's of Tacticool stuff made for them nowdays.

 

[schmeed]

The M&P 15-22 is cool, but WAY overpriced right now for what it does. I agree with getting a 10/22 and modifying it to suit the tactical feel you are going for.

However, I have a friend who get a M&P 15-22 to use for training (muscle memory) for his AR-15. The advantage being that he can shoot all day for a few bucks (cheap 22) versus much more for 223/556.

I have and love both.

^yup^

 

[quake]

I like the idea of getting both.......

If it were me, I would get the 10/22 first and go from there. I would not pay the going prices on most of these M&P 15-22s right now.

If had to choose between my 10/22 and my 15-22.....

10/22 all day.
