You're basically down to the 10/22 or TM-22 Pro in Canada. There's a few other choices on the market, but these two are the most popular and common on this sub. The 10/22 is better if you're the type who likes to tinker and upgrade their stuff, while the TM-22 Pro is arguably a better rifle out of the box and has modern features like an M-Lok handguard and optic rail.

Dumb question but what's the difference between the tm-22 and it's Pro version? I bought the Tm-22 a couple years ago and it looks to be the same price as now

The TM-22 Pro has a shorter barrel than the old one (16" vs 18"), a shorter handguard (it only covers 2/3rd of the barrel, giving you more space to put on a reverse can and saves weight), and comes with a different stock (it looks like a magpul clone with a bit more cushioning?). Mechanically, however, they're the same thing.

Mainly, I just want the OP to know that I'm talking about the all-metal tactical version rather than the plastic Feather or Cadet models.

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply.
