T/C R22 (10/22 Clone)

[dak0ta]

Has anybody heard of this? Just saw the ad on Youtube and it has good features like last shot bolt hold open with their proprietary magazines as well as ability to use other Ruger 10/22 mags. It also has a hole in the rear of the receiver for cleaning from the breech. Standard backup aperture sights with a monolithic optics rail. I don't know about the barrel interchangeability, but this is better than Ruger or even other high end clones for the money if it ends up having decent out of box accuracy and trigger pull. The stock is even a ripoff of the winning Magpul stocks. It's also MADE IN USA.

I just saw Jerry Miculek's video on it today when he released it.

I really like it. T/C, being Smith and Wesson, makes good stuff. I really like the peep sights.

I want one

If it's priced similar to the Ruger, I'd pick it just for my prediliction for peep sights.

If it's got a nicer trigger and shoots better than a normal 10/22 I might pick one up even if it is a little more.

I notice they list the twist as 1:15 rather than 1:16. As the Aquila 60 grain SSS round is sometimes (ok , usually)depending on altitude and gun model unstable in a 1;16 do you guys think this might be an attempt to find a sweet spot for all weight .22LR bullets and velocities?

I also watched the videos and noticed that the butt stock cut out seems to be for looks only and there would seem to be no way to carry a spare mag in it.

Can hardly wait for one of you guys to buy one and start swapping 10/22 parts to see if they work.

If you can’t beat them...

So I tell myself that I won't buy anything else while I'm budgeting towards getting my first .300 Win Mag....

So this one will have to wait.
I'm also curious about the twist rate and how it might work with some of my different ammo that my Marlins & my 10/22 won't agree with.

The stock's not pretty to look at, but looks like it's designed for a good fit and feel, hope to hear some feedback on that. The compatibility with 10/22 mags is a great selling point, one less down the road expense.

Looks interesting, except that the barrel contour looks thicker than the normal Ruger contour but less than the bull barrel contour. That might make replacement stocks harder to use unless you also replace the barrel.

I’m still waiting for actual store prices.

Looks interesting. I like the sights and threaded muzzle. Last shot bolt hold open is nice but to me, that is an exaggerated issue with the Ruger. The triggerguard shape is a little funky. I doubt the stock is a ripoff, it's probably made by Magpul. Would be interesting to find out if the barrels are easily swapped.

One inch of twist rate isn't going to make much difference either way.

They're in stock at Davidson's and should carry a street price of $330-$360 plus taxes and fees.

Those things look very interesting and I like the fact that they are basically not a new, unproven design; as they are based on a proven, tested, concept plus a few new perks like being able to clean from the breech. Price looks good also and time will tell if everything is as good as it looks at introduction time. As far as the 10/22 similarities go I'm reminded of that old saying that " Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". I can't wait to get some more feedback on them from some of the first owners.

I was unable to find out whether or not the rear aperture was adjustable. If so this has the potential to be a "sight it in put a sling on it and go" gun.

 

[dak0ta]

I'd like to put a Ruger Deluxe Walnut stock on it, a sling, and call it a day. And then make an M1 Carbine clone with a regular birch carbine stock.

 

[bannockburn]

I'm with the "looks interesting" crowd in that it has some features to it that I wouldn't mind having on a .22. like the back-up aperature sights, the built-in Picatinny rail, and the threaded muzzle.

 

[Bushpilot]

It has some interesting features. I don't really care for it's looks. For someone that doesn't already have a 10/22 it might be worth considering. But, speaking as someone that already has several 10/22's, I don't see anything so special about it that would make me want to rush out and buy one...

looks to be windage and elevation adjustable
