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

Best option is the 10/22 - it's the more reliable and has the most options to modify.

However, a TM22 is cheap and cheerful and mostly works fine out of the box.

But, it will cost at least double to build a 10/22 equivalent of a TM22. The 10/22 build will be much more serviceable than a TM22 (i.e. easier to clean and fix as replacement parts are readily available).

Bergara BXR > stock 10/22 you build up.

BXR has everything you want out of a build with room to grow.
