Tactical .22's
 

I've been having the itch for a while now to get a tactical .22 for playing around on the back 40. My question is what should I do? I was adamant on buying a stock 10/22 and building one, but how much trouble and what's the cost? I've been looking at the S&W MP 15-22 and that thing looks clean for around $500. What's y'all take on the matter...... Build?or Buy? A 10/22 runs about $200 with another $150 or so for the stock, and no telling what else I'll need. By the way, I'm no gunsmith, so I'll have to pay somebody to do the work. PLEASE HELP!

just get the s&w and you can have fun the same day

I agree. Buy the S&W and don't look back. The S&W comes with an integrated rail if you want to tinker on your own and add things later. But right out of the gate you're probably getting something better than what would have been built anyway.

I have the 15-22 w/ vortex red dot scope....thing is fun as hell!!!!!!!!

I got mine at a gunshow for $380 too

That's what was wondering. I knew the 10/22 has an endless amount of accessories, but didn't know much about the S&W. I figured as time went by I'd want to customize it some, and wanted to make sure there are products out there for the S&W. I looked at the Mossberg but that thing feels like a squirt gun!!

Just got the S&W M&P 15-22 and let me tell you that is one fine gun! It loves CCI ammo an it is very accurate. Very easy to clean.

From what I have seen I would avoid the mossberg. My personal favorite is the h&k 22 (umarex made), with the S&W magpul edition a close second. There is a tactical firearm shop near my house and they move a ton of the S&W's. The Colts are very similar, but you are paying for the colt name.

As soon as my .556 comes in I am going to order the h&k

BTW, you can't go wrong with the ruger - those things have been around forever and stand up to abuse. I just don't have time to convert one myself.

I wanna see some pics of your rilfes if you got em.

Mp 15-22 all the way.

2010 gun of the year - S&W

S&W 15-22 I believe you can switch out the upper and shoot 5.56 too. Not sure though

No - it is a dedicated .22 cal platform

whats the price range on that H&K????

Oh

They sell online for $488. I can send you a site where you can buy them online and have them shipped to the store by my house for no charge...

cant look at it out here. any site that sells guns comes up blocked

since you can't look at the sites, here is some eye candy. 1st is of the H&K 416 .22LR and the 2nd is my new toy on the way, a Spikes Tactical. (Not trying to high jack the thread, just trying to help an ol' oil guy out!)

Here is a 10/22. The only thing ruger on it is the receiver. Everything else is aftermarket. If you have tactical foregrips,you should be able to add just about any toys to it later. I have quite abit into this gun,but it was fun buying all the different pieces exactly the way I wanted and build my own gun.It is extremely accurate with the red/green dot scope. You can just about circumcise a gnat at 30 yds.:smokin: There are some nice guns listed above already that are bad to the bone right out of the box. You might look into the Archangel too.

nice!

That son of a bugger looks bad! Thanks for all the advice guys. I'll be shopping around today and let y'all know what I decide.

i have the sig 526 with a hologram sight.i cant post pic im not home but go to web site and check out before u buy.it is a blast to shoot and never jams.

Anyone see the gsg 22 looks like an mp5?

I know this is an an older post but just wanted to through my 2 cents in. I was in the same dilemna a while back. And looked at all of them, with the exception of the H&K, never saw that one before. I finally decided to go with a basic ruger 10/22 and added an Promag Archangel stock. It can handle a bull barrel when I finally upgrade to one. Its pretty nice, and you can grab it for about 100 bucks. Replacing the stock on a 10/22 is extremely simple. And as mentioned ealier, the 10/22 has so many extras out there, it will make your head spin.
For the 10/22 stocks:
On the lower end of the price range you have your TAPCO stocks, two different styles with the T6 being better methinks. And the Promags, various styles with the Archangel being the AR type.
Farther up you have the ProMag Marauder which looks like a SCAR-L, complete with a magazine cover.
Then comes the Troy Industries TRX Extreme. A nice looking AR type stock with full length top rail, but its pricey.
Finally the Nodic components kit. It turns your 10/22 into a .22 caliber AR-15 able to handle any AR-15 pistol grip, stock and forearm.

The Ruger SR-22 AR type rifle is basically a 10/22 in a fancy stock and is less than 500. It will accept 10/22 upgrades, including Volquartsen and Timney triggers.

Here's my 10/22 on the Archangel - dubbed Diller Killer. (poor picture - my apologies)

Hope this helps if you havent gotten you one already.

What type of red dot is that?

Thats a BSA30. 30mm red dot. It has eleven brightness settings which is great. Can get it on Amazon for around 40 dollars, but I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. The tick marker fell out of the windage adjustment the first time I sighted it in. And after about 50 rounds the top of the on/off brightness dial, which holds the battery in, popped off. Luckily it land on the shooting table and I wasn't popping armadillos at the time. Got it tightened pretty good now, just have to be careful not to loosen it when I turn it on or off.

UTG makes one, UTG RGB, where you can select either red, green or blue dot. With 3 powers for each. Can get it at Amazon for about 30 bucks I think. Not sure how good it is.

The mag is a 30 round Shooters Ridge. Its junk. If your lucky one or two rounds will feed. Hold it upside down and they fall out. I trashed it and bought the 25 round one made by Ruger. Its longer and very nearly touches the front fore grip. The light is a Walther. It will light the tree line 100 yards from my front porch and I have shot critters out to 35 steps using it. Very nice light for 25 dollars.

Try a primary arms red dot or vortex good scopes not too much chedda...

This is my rig with a vortex

What kind of stock you got there? Is that one of the Troy Industries?

It came on the gun I believe it's the factory stock...might throw a magpul on it for giggles.

Man! Thats a nice rig Sulphite! I beleive my next purchase will be a tactical shotgun. Got a gun show coming up, gonna get some ideas.

The Saiga is a bad dude!!

I have the saiga 12 such a bad bad gun....

How much did that run you?

They about 650 to 750

Found a deal I might not be able to pass up today on a mossberg 500 with pistol grip and heat shield. Will prolly end up gettin it.

For home defense tact can't beat an ol rem 870 short barrel or mossberg short barrell pumps

Yep.....load that baby up with some buckshot and you have a machine!!!!
