"Tactical" Semi-Auto .22 Recommendation

[u/Competitive-Gear-357]

Hey fellas,

​

I am looking to get this communities insight on a .22lr that would fit the bill for the training I want to do.

​

I know next to nothing about the semi auto .22 market outside of a bit of googling. I am not really a gun guy but I have a lot of trigger time on AR platforms. I want to maintain that skill set and some previous job specific standards

​

Money is not really an issue.

​

I am looking for something that feeds reliably, is accurate, and has AR-style ergonomics (preferably even a similar safety selector, mag release, and bolt catch); In that order.

​

I intend of mounting an eotech, flashlight, and possibly a laser at some point.

​

I want to predominantly shoot between 3 and 25m, working on single to multiple round engagements with a shot clock and some multi-target running around stuff. Hence reliability being the main thing.

​

So far I have stumbled across the ruger 10/22 which seems the most customizable, ST 22, Adler, and the Derya TM 22 which seems nice but the pricepoint seems low. I have read about issues with the Adler.

​

Any insight on you guys on a good gun or custom build that would check the boxes I want to check?

​

Thanks!

​

The st 22 is a 10/22 reciver made by Spectre ballistics a Canadian company the guy posts here sometimes it is probably the best that we have here you could also get the Alex homebrew top charging handle for a tm 22 which is the best budget tactical style one here

Hi Gary, can I legally add a top charging handle to a Rugger? Will it become more deadly against pop cans?

[u/Relevant_Diver_3228 → u/Acceptable_Visit_115]

Yes it will become so much deadlier/s

Also how does one aquire a firearm in canada i have heard people mention a pal but i have no idea what a pal is can someone please tell me

They mean you have to have your pal introduce you to the gun store owner, buddy.

And you must know this PAL for atleast two years. Otherwise they are just a buddy and not yet a PAL.
