Misc Why is the Derya TM22 so famous?

I recently purchased a TM22 Pro, and was wondering what makes it so popular? I’ve seen it in the subreddit multiple times, what’s your favourite part about the firearm?

Cheap, 25 round magazine, reasonably accurate, tacticool.

Except not compatible with any Ruger 10/22 derivatives including other Turkish brands. That's a no go just for that reason. The ProMag Remington Model 597 .22 LR 22-Round Magazine is cross compatible with several different Turkish rifles including the Ruger 10/22 and same goes for all the original Ruger magazines like BX-25 series. You can also get the rotary 30 round version if you wanted to or higher.

Tm22 mags are more reliable than 597s, and you need to use an adapter to use 597 mags in a 10/22.

And the Ruger magazines are more reliable than the Turkish second tier knockoffs. Yes I have an adaptor not a big deal but as I said TM22 mags will not work on my other rifles so it's a no go. Literally have 3 other rifles all cross compatible magazines Ruger originals or Remington third party. All the posters are wrong, there is way way way more selection and variety on the 10/22 cross compatible platform and especially for magazines which are actually cheaper and move available. By the way Ruger is superior quality to anything Turkish. The RF 224 is all metal and takes any Ruger magazines. Ruger magazines are more reliable than any Turkish knockoffs sorry. What a sad state to be left getting Turkish one-off proprietary second tier guns and thinking they're great--they're not, just pure cope. All my handguns are German or American made by the way.
