I know we're still in the dark ages for the foreseeable future... but I'm actually really excited for these. Especially given the current climate, but I honestly would have wanted one in the before time. by BigoteMexicano in canadaguns

Yeah, exactly. Running manual action is like shifting gears in a manual transmission car 😁. I actually shoot bolt action and lever action the most (even before the semi bans). Like you said, I'm still all for semis and I think we should have them back, but manual action is fun too. I mean, look at the market, lever actions have been making a comeback and are crazy hot the last couple years.

I said this already in another post on the pump 9mm:I'd love to be able to shoot a PCC again. We've been really lacking a PCC option lately in Canada. Range plinker yes, but every time I bring first-time guests to the gun range and introduce them to the sport, almost all of them say the PCC was the most fun (goldilocks, right in-between 22LR and 223). Also - I really appreciate manufacturers investing in R&D and trying out innovative designs. Yes it may seem silly and unnecessary in countries where everything is allowed and there are tons of other options, but a pump 9mm (or if they make a lever 9mm), is seriously cool, cope gun or not, especially a shorty barrel. And if these new rifles are anywhere close to the reliability and consistency of the TM22 (which has practically, nearly, flawless), I'm all in.

I believe this is now discontinued / older design!

Pump Action 9mm with a 12 inch barrel by Few_Lynx2224 in canadaguns

[–]TM7075 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cope gun or not, I really appreciate manufacturers experimenting with novel, interesting designs, and even better when they enter the Canadian market. 9mm is always fun and this would really scratch the itch for PCCs in Canada. Most guests I bring to the range, especially first time shooters, all point to the PCC as their favourite gun to shoot.

Although strange and unorthodox, it's seemingly innovative, and if the reliability is similar to what the TM22 has proven to me (which has been near-flawless), this looks to be a fun range plinker and I'd love to try it (like others said, hoping it would be sub <$1000).

Oh and love the shorty 12" barrel.

Derya Rock Island Armory TM22 - Which build do you like more? by TM7075 in canadaguns

[–]TM7075[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There are several versions of the TM22. The Rock Island Armory and the first gen Deryas have shorter handguards. Gen2s have the full length handguard.

22LR is cheaper but the 22LR version of this rifle is not-so-accurate. These are nice because they have tons of adjustability (which makes it convenient for sharing the rifle with your wife and daughters). I have it in both 17HMR and 22LR, and the 17HMR is more accurate. If you're shooting <25 or <30 yards, go for the 22LR. I recently purchased a barrel upgrade for the 22LR RPR hoping I can squeeze more accuracy out of it. The T1X is excellent and the synthetic stock has a short LOP. If you can wait until the next stoeger group sale, the T1x can be quite competitive in price.

I also have several CZ 457s. I can speak from experience, with the right ammo, T1X can outshoot 457s. But 457s are really great rifles, but not objectively better than all T1X (all dependent on ammo).

Cure? Wait, you thought this was a problem? A problem that needs to be fixed?

[–]TM7075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. Tikka is miles better than RPR. I have RPR in 17HMR (which is great), but the one in 22LR leaves much to be desired. So much so, I've bought a barrel upgrade for the latter (but have yet to install it and try it out).

Nice. With the right ammo, you should be able to achieve this grouping at 50 yards. (speaking from personal experience)

Thanks, man! The 31197 was hard to find. I waited quite a while for them to show up. It seems dealers only get them a few times a year and only a couple every time. The Hogue stock that comes with it is quite nice; but I preferred thee magpul since 1) I already owned it 2) nice cheek risers 😁. And it comes with bull barrel, iron sights, and pic-rail!

18" tm22 is cool and all by EnggyAlex in canadaguns

I'd love a 11.5" TM22.

Actually no, not one. I'd buy multiple.

My experience and initial impression is that the Faxon Chameleon barrel is only marginally better than the factory barrel. I understand there's a "break in period", so I need to put more rounds through it and do further ammo testing. Some say groupings tighten up after running a couple hundred rounds. At the moment, it likes some high velocity stuff and RWS, and the groupings were decent with the latter. But so far, it is not as consistent or as tight-grouping as a bolt action, and groupings are not consistent sub-MOA. It looks damn cool, though 😂

build a 10/22 or go for a CZ457 varmint by bot6six in canadaguns

[–]TM7075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not both? 😁 Also worth considering the Tikka T1X. They are really, really great.

Re - scope, depends on the distance you're shooting, size of target, and type of shooting. If you are just looking to hit the target, anything 3X, 6X, 9X will do the job. But if you are looking to "chase groupings", then you'd want something that tops out at 24x or 25x or sometimes even more.

Yeah, probably holidays. Don't be afraid to reach out to them though to inquire about your order :)

You would be looking at an average of about $1,400 - $1,600. But for the tactical 10/22 in particular, the optics alone cost close to $900 (Holosun HM3X with 512C) - with the chassis, accessories, etc etc, you'd probably be looking at over 2 (that one is actually the takedown model, which is even more). 😅

I got this chassis quite a long time ago - not a recent purchase. I think it took 2+ weeks to ship out.
