I like mine in .22wmr but have had multiple parts breaks. The sear shelf and the counter weight (maybe right terms) have had ( soon waiting on parts) to be replacedone. The importer has been great......Tanfoglio has made some mistakes and sent the wrong parts. If I was to guess an average maybe a 8 month wait on parts. Last point, thread pitch on the barrel is also out os spec, so most muzzle devices don't pair up. You review is spot on though dude, keep up the good work!
^ Very helpful. No specifics or details, just piss on everyone else's corn flakes and then disappear.
I had one in .22lr and enjoyed it tremendously. 100% function, and with its favourite loads it displayed much better accuracy than your .22mag gun. The problem with the magnum is that there are far fewer different loads to try out than are available for the long rifle. If you don't get lucky you may never get great accuracy; with the scads of .22lr ammo types on the market, odds are good that you will find a load or two that stands out above the rest.

Ok.... my bad. I'll elaborate.
I tried 3 different 22WMR ammo types through the 3 magazines I had for it. CCI 40gr HP, CCI 40gr TMJ and Hornady 30gr v-max. Each ammo type failed to properly function through any of the 3 mags. I had 3-4 failures in every magazine. Light strikes, stove pipes and fire a round eject fine but not pick up the next round.
Thought it just needed broke in so I kept trying. Took it apart cleaned and oiled thoroughly a few times. Never made a difference. After 30+ mags through it without any improvement I gave up.
Never got through 1 mag without minimum of 3 failures.
On top of that I put a 4-12x on it for a few rounds just to check accuracy. Out of the rounds that actually did fire I got anywhere from 4 to 7 inches at 100y with both types of CCI. The Hornady was much worse.
EDIT: all 3 ammo types I tried in the Tanfoglio Appeal function 100% in my Magnum Research semi-auto. The CCI ammo can do less than 2". The Hornady isn't very accurate in this rifle either but it does still function 100%
