I know how much people hate those "this vs that" threads... but I've got questions about some of the newer 22LR products on the market. I love to shoot my DPMS 5.56, but even if I get reloads I am running about $30 or more per 100. I'd love to get into a 22LR with similar ergonomics. But, I don't know enough about the quality of these rifles to narrow my selection. I've been looking at the following:
S&W M&P 1522
Sig Sauer 522
Mossberg Tac-22
UMAREX Colt M4 22LR
UMAREX HK 416 22LR
I've seen a few dedicated 22lr uppers I like as well (but they tend to be a little more expensive). I know the 22lr uppers are probably of decent quality, but does anyone know if any of the rifles on my list are worth getting? What about feeding issues (I know some auto-loading 22lr weapons have issues with hollow points and or those subsonic shells that launch a 60 grain bullet from a short case). Cleaning? (ARs are fairly easy to clean up, what about these rim-fire doppelgangers, are they equally as easy to tear down and clean up?) Mags? (I don't know why I'd NEED to have more than one mag... but then again it is always nice to know there are options. I know you can buy new ones, I curious if one or more of these rifles have an aftermarket variety and if these are better/not as good as the stock mags).
Thanks for your info:
Nate
