If I were to buy one, I was curious, could I change out thay bulky stock?

Would be cool if they came out with a .22wmr version

I actually said this to Derya recently, they're on this reddit from time to time so I threw the idea out there. 

They did actually answer and said they are working on a 22wmr rifle, but wouldn't say much more other than saying a 22wmr semi auto is difficult to make. I sort of anticipate the 22mag model to be a pump action or bolt gun maybe, but they are making something in 22wmr. I am rooting for a 22mag TM22 one day too, comparable energy to a 9mm, semi auto, and no mag limits? Theyd sell like crazy.

There are still some CZ512 Tactical models floating around used, which are pretty cool tactical style 22mag semi auto rifles, but I believe are discontinued. They still pop up used sometimes though.

If they make a pump or bolt I’ll just end up getting a lever 22 wmr. Savage makes the a22 in a .22wmr version as well, I’ve been looking to find one for probably 8 months now with no luck.

I’m surprised a push for a semi .22wmr isn’t larger as we could have even a 25 round mag for it.

It is a cost and availability issue. 22wmr is significantly more costly than 22lr. (like 8x more)

That's why I've always ended up selling my 22mag rifles. I keep getting tempted by a 17hmr but then figure "well, I could be shooting 223 instead for just a little bit more", and it's just one more caliber to stockpile unfortunately. 

A tactical style 22mag semi auto though I would definitely still buy, just in a bolt gun I don't find 22mag has a huge place to fill when 22lr is much cheaper, and 223 can be used for only a bit more.

I pay around $20-$25/50rd of 22mag, or could just buy 40rd of 223 for around $25. Not much savings there unfortunately.

But I'd still buy a semi auto 22mag just to get around the magazine caps.
