Starting search for 22LR semi-auto

[GourdOnTheDoor]

Has anyone mentioned a Ruger 10/22 or Marlin model 60?

yes those seem to be the most recommended ones. I am liking the marlin 22 795 though and maybe get a cheap sight to throw on it for now. any suggestions?

Just bought a used 15-22. So far so good.

I have my dads old, black, Nylon 66, always heard those were nice shooters. Mine hasnt been shot in probably 35 years. Dad was the last one to shoot it, cant bring myself to use it.

10" MK IV pistol with a suppressor and a red dot. Backpack approved for deerstand squirrel use.

That is opening a big can of worms. I bought a 795 with a set of tech sights for my son and it would do most anything a .22 needs to do.

I don’t think anyone has said it yet but how about a ruger 10/22!

I don’t think any gun collection is complete without at least 1 10/22 (I have 3!)

The Kidd trigger solves bolt hold open, and there is a kit for lock back.

you can also dremel the original parts here and there for it to hold open

Once i have access to the marketplace i might have to pick one up. Looking to get rid of one? haha

Ruger 10/22 would be the simplest and most versatile system. However if you want something a little more exotic, I really like the GSG MP5 SD clone with the collapsible stock. Functions very similar to the real thing (though it's still blowback operated, no .22 delayed roller gat).

The Savage 64 is a good, dependable semiauto .22 rifle. I bought one and set it up with a rear peep and a front aperature sight to train my grandkids. It is very accurate.

The limitation is that the trigger pushes a sliding rod, that pushes the sear. This design does not lend itself to a top shelf trigger match job, and I have never seen an aftermarket match trigger for them. It works fine and if you are going to leave the trigger stock, you would never know any different.

You should also check out some of the CZ offerings. They're a little higher in price, but you never know on the used market.

The S&W 15-22 in the pistol or rifle versions are fun, have threaded barrels, last round hold open, AR type controls and can carry a higher capacity in their magazines. You can find yourself running through 22LR ammo a bit faster than some of the other offerings.
They're also a cost effective training option if you're on an AR platform.

Bought my 10\22 in 1981. Still love that thing. The scope on it was more expensive then the rifle.

 

[Hop]

If you want an AR15 style, I'd go Tippman instead of S&W. Much better accuracy from the Tippy.

There is also the CMMG conversion bolt for a 5.56 AR-15 upper, though the reliability can be finicky at times.

I enjoyed Remington Nylon 66, Speedmaster, and 597. What do I own/shoot now? Ruger 10/22!

MOD!!!MODERATOR!!! CAN I GET A MODERATOR HERE!…I think we’ve got someone trying to bypass the 50 post rule!

no I plan on keeping them, one is my steel challenge rfro gun, one is my steel challenge rfri gun, and the other is a heavy steel barrel gun waiting for the right scope to turn it into a possible nrl22 gun

All 3 are far from stock! 1 looks like it’s a space gun (weiland chassis) one looks like it was a race gun (it’s got a fluted barrel but it’s steel and heavy) and one looks stock except for the extended mag release!

But that goes to show you how adaptive the 10/22 really is, with a set of Allen wrenches, and your budget, the sky’s the limit on customization of the ruger 10/22!, and I do mean the sky’s the limit! My steel challenge open class 10/22 probably would cost 1500 to 2 grand to build it again!

Years ago (before the ar15 platform exploded with accessories) I used to say the 10/22 was the Barbie doll of guns, you buy the base doll and then you add the Malibu dream house, then the pink corvette, then the shoes and outfits…and then you realize how much “Barbie” really costs!
