Feets / Collection / My build Semi-auto .22lr reliability
What would you say is the most reliable semi auto .22lr on our market, and using what combo of ammo and magazines? I recently picked up an SBI ST22 and a few TUFF 22 magazines, working on figuring out what kind of ammo they like. Also, share your .22s

Most .22LRs out there can be made reliable with certain mods and HV ammo, to be fair.
The one thing that can't be improved easily, however, is the magazine design.
The most reliable .22LR semi of all time is probably a Gevarm, as there are 3 moving parts: trigger, sear, and bolt. No extractors, no moving firing pins, no nothing whatsoever. Reversible guide rod that changes the bolt mass for HV/SV rounds. The firing wedge contacts the primer at two points instead of one, decreasing the chances of a misfire due to unevem primer spread.
