Buy recommendations Is this the best .22 option?

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?

No, they're fine, just boring 😂

If you want to tacti-cool a 10/22, a stock starts at about $250 for a plastic one, and the sky is the limit for higher end stocks and chassis.

Building a 10/22 is a nice rabbit hole project for the summer however.

Im trying to avoid the rabbit hole for a semi auto. I would consider for a bolt "accuracy" build.
