Best TACTICAL .22LR??

A long time ago, on another forum, when I was new to this forum stuff, I asked the same question.

It was a stupid question then, and it's a stupid question now.:D

That being said, I like the Krinker Plinker, if you can find one. I should have bought one a long time ago, when you could get them...

"Tactical" meaning black/military-looking. Old fashioned types like me don't, and may never see the appeal, but I don't think the question is a "stupid" one.

How would I answer?

Until I try a Kel-Tec SU-22 when/if the ever make it here...my vote would go to the nicest I've shot, the Ruger SR22. Sure, it's a 10/22 in a Halloween costume, but it's the nicest costume out there. :) I saw my first Mossberg at the range a few weeks ago, it was the owner's first time out with it. Several FTE, one FTF, but I know lots of people have fun with theirs. Really plastic/toy-like to me, but at about 1/2 the price of the SR22, the choice is yours.

This, hands down.

On a serious note, a 10/22 in a marauder stock would be my first choice.

what is that abomination! That has to be the wierdest, most unnatural looking gun Ive ever seen in my life. I seriously cant believe a large company with probably sane people working there put that into production.

Wow.
 
I noticed at this years SHOT show there were many "black" .22 rimfire rifles.

Sig-Sauer 522, based on the 556 or 551. Both are 16" barrels, the can is an ornament. About $500 retail in USA.

How about a StG44 copy from GSG?
 
Best 22LR tactical? They all have their own pros and cons, and it all has to do with what you are going to do with it. Casual plinking? Serious AR training without the cost?

That being said, the two what pop out to me, as being the top few are the flat top Mossberg 702 Tactical, S&W M&P 15-22, and the 10/22.

does this take regular 10/22 mags?

whats all involved in taking the stock apart to clean the innards? (screws and screwdrivers?? ...hope not)

The Marauder kit will take regular extended 10/22 mags. You can't use standard 10 round Ruger mags (I just tried it), but they're too tight a fit inside the Marauder's mag well. I have an old, beat-up RamLine 30-round plastic mag (had it for 25 years or so), and it fits and functions perfectly in the Marauder kit.

As far as disassembly for cleaning is concerned, yes, you do need to use tools, although a couple of allen keys will suffice. Of course, you can't even disassemble a stock 10/22 without at least some tools. Considering that, unless you're going blasting with it every day, you probably won't need to do that deep a clean more than once a year, it's really not a big deal. All my .22's, at least, seem to like to be kept a little dirty. They function better, and are more accurate, that way. I generally do an exterior clean & wipe only when I get home from the range, so no disassembly required.

Of course, taking mechanical stuff apart and putting it back together frequently induces wear of its own. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it should be kept to a minimum in .22's IMHO.

Remember that famous adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" and its corollary, "If you fiddle with something long enough, it will eventually break." I'm living proof that both of those are absolutely true!! (I'm an inveterate fiddler - it's hard to keep my hands off mechanical stuff)
