Buy recommendations "Tactical" Semi-Auto .22 Recommendation

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!

​

Personally id never buy a Turkish center fire due to the reputation of em, the gamble for a tacticool .22 for 400 bucks doesnt worry me haha. If there was a higher end, Canadian made TM22 competitor, id be all over it. Sadly that isnt the case these days

I 100% see where you're coming from haha. When it goes so bad, that you just hit that point and say f### it, never again haha.

I just got lucky with my gamble.

I can respect that I’m not knocking people that have a good experience I just haven’t and I know others haven’t either
