Hey, I am again having the itch to fill the gun safe abit more. Pure investment if you ask me to be fair.

As I cry seeing all my buds in the US with their ARs, I am looking at 22s. Is the TM22 the best price/quality option out there? To be fair im only going to use it for fun because ammo is dirt cheap. Any other choices I should consider?

Feel free to tell me I'm an idiot.

Cheers

All metal TM22 is the best option, unless you want to spend a couple grand playing 10/22 Lego.

Bare bones 10/22 carbine is ass. So unless you want to basically build a firearm from scratch, loosely based on the 10/22, TM22 is the way.

Are the 10/22s that bad out of the box?

The straight factory ones are imo. Iron sights suck, trigger sucks, I'm not a fan of the mags.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm sure some fudd will say they're great, but imo, my TM22 is 1000x better than the base model 10/22.

Not to say you can't build an epic one.. But then you're basically replacing 98% of the parts with expensive performance parts..
