I want a cheap-ish 22 semiauto (long gun, cucknadian) that isn't gay and shitty without heavy modification (ie not a 10/22)Convince me not to buy one of those LARP AR-looking things
Just get a 10/22
A basic 10/22 with rotary mags is going to be more reliable than most 22lr rifles you can get and its not that expensive.
>>65197924I got a Savage 64 and it's a nice solid rifle, and it's made in Canada.
Shitty LARP looking AR things are your best bet if don't want a Ruger 10/22 or a Savage 64. The only other option is the turkish Wildcat. I'd personally go with a Tippman LARp 22.
>>65197996>I got a Savage 64 and it's a nice solid rifle despite it being made in Canada.
>>65197951FPBPOP, youre only other decent option is a Savage 64. Or you can try to find a vintage model 6.
>>65197951FPBP; I have more than one and wouldn't if they actually sucked. Yes I hunt with them too.>>65197924>[a 22] that isn't gay and shitty without heavy modification>Convince me not to buy one of those LARP AR-looking thingsMost of them are gay and shitty and plastic unless you buy a fucking Tippmann. And a lot of the good ones are probably AR compatible/based enough that leaflanders probably can't own them. Aren't you limited to like 5 or 10 rd mags anyways? The Remington 22 magazine conversion was your only way to own bigger mags because IIRC but I think that's gone too, maybe unless that Italian conversion still exists.
>>65197924Tube mags okay?
>>65197924>cheap-ish 22 semiauto.22lr is inherently dirty and unfortunately cheap .22 guns don't run good when they gunk up. unironically consider kidd & volquartsen
>>65201473Much more accurate than a 10/22
>>65197924The Henry AR7 is disgustingly underappreciated
>>65201473>>65201503My 60 would run great for about 100 rounds and then it needed a full cleaning because it would get so fouled up. My 10/22 just fucking works, I've run 5-600 rounds through it in a range trip without issue related to cleanliness or lubrication. The 60 is sexy, I'll give it that, but I'd rather have a 10/22.
>>65197924Go around to your local gun stores and pawn shops and such and find yourself an old gill gun. The "click clack!" is fun. I have an old Savage Model 7. The marketing of the era said you could put a 1000 rounds through it without cleaning. I tested that one day at the range and ran 1000 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity through it. Somewhere between 850 and 1000 rounds I hand a handful of feeding issues. But no failure to fire or failure to eject. Other than that it ran flawlessly. Easily a sub 2MOA gun. Maybe more accurate with nicer ammo, but I own it for fun, not competition. And if I had to press it into service as a hunting rifle, it would get the job done.
>>65203433My boomer dad has a 10/22 that he's out countless bricks through. Never cleaned it. I've never seen it jam. I don't think I've ever seen him hit more than 50% of the rabbits he shoots at though lol
>>6520142922 mag size is unlimited in long rifles unless the same mag can be used in a pistol, or some shit like that. Nobody really knows, not even the police. So anyways for the 10/22 you are limited to a 10 round mag because of compatibility with one or more of ruger's pistols.
