Hi Everyone.

I have been looking at the SR-22 rifle and the M&P15-22. I like both and it seems like the sky is the limit with both of the guns with accessories you can get for them.
I have heard that the M&P15-22 is a restricted weapon in Canada, is this true?
Is the SR-22 restricted or non-restricted?


Thanks.
 
Please read post on them!
M&P = restricted + stock mag is pinned to 10 rounds
SR22 = over priced 10/22
Have you looked at a stock 10/22 or Su22?
I love the M&P but until it's non-restricted I'm not going to get one.
 
the mp15 is restricted and 10 round capacity the sr 22 comes standard with a 10 round rotary mag 25 and 50 rounders available as aftermarket i have the sr22 and i love it cant go wrong with a 10\22 action the 10 22 is the best rimfire out there in my opinion

The SR22 may cost more than a regular 10/22 but it looks a whole lot cooler!

Looks like a car wreck... And yes its an overpriced 10/22

I used to have one... Couldn't sell it fast enough. Heavy P.O.S... Purchased a spike .22 kit for my AR and I have been happy ever since...

You can always buy a regular 10/22 and put an archangel stock on it. But by then the price is the same as a sr22 and the sr22 is much better quality than the archangel

+1 on that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The SU-22 is 4.5lbs I think.
My friends SR22 in the maruder stock was 8-9lbs.
 
The SR22 is awesome, feels good, has good weight to it and doesn't feel cheap and plasticy. Parts are easy to get and the customization options are endless. It is overpriced though and comes with no optics, not even irons so youll have to add that into the cost. There also very hard to find...I have a almost new one in the EE right now if your interested.
 
I was actually looking to make the exact same choice not long ago.

On the basis of looks alone, I probably would've preferred the M&P 15-22 because it's obviously closer looking to it's military counterpart than the sr-22 which is just black-styled.

For the sr-22, I like that everyone seems to beat the crap out of their 10-22 and abuse them and they all still work. It's not that I plan on abusing it, but it's the first gun I've owned, so I'd prefer something that's a bit forgiving on maintenance in case I don't do it perfectly because I'm not doing something right.

But honestly, the restricted vs. non-restricted was pretty much the deal breaker. I'm a member of a range, but for a .22 lr, I wanted to be able to take it out to my uncles or friends farm and knock down cans and generally just not have the hassle of a restricted firearm.

EDIT: on the weight note because it's come up, I don't find it overly heavy at all (I love the weight, at least I feel like I got my money's worth and not some piece of plastic). Though I did take a girl shooting with me and she found it heavy...
 
I think it comes down to where you do most of your shooting. If you shoot mostly at a range get the M&P. If you're after a .22 AR-15 styled rifle there's nothing better out there (IMO it even beats a .22 conversion on a real AR since you get a functioning bolt release). If you want to go out in the bush get something else. Simple as that. I have the M&P and ended up selling my 10-22 since it never got any use, but I shoot at a range almost exclusively.

And for what it's worth my M&P have proven way more reliable than my 10-22, and feeds all types of ammo flawlessly. I have about 10K rounds downrange so far.

M&P is truer to the AR but I am extremely happy with my SR-22. Just have to loc-tite every screw in it.

I got the Troy T22 chassis and I have to agree that any stock that relies on bolts should be loc-tite for 100% reliability. However I should have also loc-tite my wallet, seems to be quite loose.
 
I've gotta ask; if you hated the look of it that bad, and felt it as so expensive, why'd you buy it in the first place???

Sorry...I just don't get that. I can't afford to buy something I hate and then go through the hassle of listing it and selling it for a loss...especially when there are so many other options you'd probably like better out there on the market.

^ I wanted to see what the fuss was about... Then I tried to make it work like an AR to save money at the range...

The more I looked at it the more I realized it was a big waste of cash. Bought a spikes .22 Kit and been happy ever since....

I really really tried to like it at first... Thats why I modded it up... Then I saw the light....

Keep in mind that he's comparing this to a real AR with a 22lr conversion kit, vs a 10/22 with a $200 stock.
 
Lets also keep in mind, an AR with a .22 conversion kit, is still a restricted weapon. Nothing beats the SR22 as an all around rifle IMO. The fact that it's the only decent tactical rifle out there that's non-restricted only solidifies the point. Is it heavier than some of the others...sure, but it's also built to last, around a dedicated aluminum chassis. It's taken the best of the standard 10/22 and made it better as far as I'm concerned. And it's a lot less flimsy that most of the others I've tried *cough* Mossberg's 702 tactical .22....may as well be made by Fisher Price! *cough* )

Besides...it's not like you're running around carrying it in combat. It's a damn plinker for god sakes. If an 8lb rifle is going to ruin your day, you should probably spend a little more time in the gym. :D
