600 round review tm22 pro 16”

[u/NoGrapefruit1213]

Got around 600 rounds through this 16 pro now so i figured it was time to talk about it. I was skeptical of picking one up with reviews usually 50/50 I figured the 10/22 or 597 have never let me down do I really need this? Well I’m glad I picked it up! -As far as failures I t’s had one light strike and one stove pipe out of 600 rounds of federal automatch. Accuracy is great from what I can tell. Ive only put it on paper to sight it in when it was fresh with a bushnell trs-25 red dot. I just tossed this 1-4 jackhowl lpvo on tonight so here’s to hoping it works fine too. As far as accessories the rail on the hand guard, the reverse faux suppressor and charging handle are my own design. Files can be found on cults3d. The mag is also available from another designer this one is 15 rounds (10/15/25 avail) and works flawlessly if you can find the right springs. Over all the rifle is fun to shoot feels nice has good weight and seems to hit what ever you aim at. I’m able to put it on 6” steel at 100 yards everytime and most of the time 4” steel at 100. I’m hoping with a bit crisper view and the option to zoom with an lpvo the 4” should impact everytime now too. Any questions ask and get out there and do some plinking!

Do you find the models prefer to run a bit better on the "dry" side of the oil scale? I've been having a hard time finding that happy medium

I find mine runs just fine fairly wet I clean them every couple hundred as well at least the turkeys the 10/22 and 597 get clean if they cause issues which is pretty much never lol

Yeah i can usually get 2 or 3 trips out of the Derya before its gotta get cleaned out, ill go through around 400rds per trip so it gets pretty nasty, gonna try a bit less oil and see if that helps
