Buy recommendations 22 Plinker

Good day all, just received my pal right at the 28 day mark for valid which I’m happy about. My question is looking for a 22 for range target for my15 year son and myself.
Thoughts are derya TM-22 metal or a Ruger 22 custom like the Archangel

TM22 is decent, but if you get one that's finicky, it can take the fun out of the experience that you're looking for with your son. I have a TM22 and mine went thru a spell during break in where it was not feeding properly. Frustrating. Maybe consider a 10/22 in a traditional wood stock as your first plinker. After shooting that for a while, think about what you like and dislike about it. Maybe a TM22 will be your next purchase. Unsolicited advice: Get a bolt action first. Buy Canadian - make it a Savage B22 or Mark II. Get a semi auto next.
