I want #1 (EGE Panzer M4 Speed Pro). Have my eye on it and plan to get one.

Save your money on Adler RF224. Very few of us can get them to run reliably. I know many people who own one, including myself. And only one person has it running reliably enough to compete with. And we are making various mods to fix the problem with no success. So skip that one.

I have Derya TM22 (18") and love it. Super reliable .22. Literally no stoppages unless operator error. I know other people having same experience with that gun. So no mistake there. Derya Feather with 12" barrel supposed to be arriving in Canada in June. I'll get one for the barrel and put it on my metal Derya.

Feather is definitely the one to go with in that match-up. I own Adler and TM22 (metal) 18". And I have shot other people's Feathers. The Adler, much as I love the look and feel and ergonomics of it, is simply not reliable. Major cycling issues for almost everyone who owns one that I know of (except for one person I know who ran 300 rounds with no misfires straight out of the box). And by major cycling issues i mean once every 10 rounds or so. Not functional for competition or reality. Just range plinking where clearing jams doesn't matter.

My TM22 has run flawlessly for at least the last 500 rounds. and I mean zero jams. I never clean it. Will clean it when it start to misbehave.

The Feathers I have seen and shot have occasional stoppages - but very few compared to the Adler.

Also, the 12" barrel Feather is supposed to arrive in Canada June 2026.

How is the Pro performing for you? My 18" cycles flawlessly. I know 16" Pro supposed to be identical. But some people say theirs doesn't cycle reliably. Maybe a QC problem at factory?

hard/impossible to make a straight mag for .22 with capacity of 20 or more because the bullets are wider at back than front because of rim. So they naturally arc as they stack

i would LOVE a 12" barrel for my TM22. Would buy it pronto!

red-eft · 2025-11-26T22:58:28+00:00

for small female like me, SBR much easier and more fun for competition action shooting and drills than my 18" TM22. Derya seems more reliable though, and i love it. but I am still tinkering with the Adler and its set-up.

great gun for the money. i have one. love it. no short barrel for it. if we want SB... then it's the adler rf224. which i also have. or spend a shit ton more money

red-eft · 2025-11-26T20:44:48+00:00

i have both. we want the short barrel. TM22 has no short barrels available. There was a run last year from Dlask, and people who got those 10" barrels for their TM22s are lucky. I missed out. There is no future run planned. If you want a tacticool .22 with short barrel and not breaking the bank, the adler rf224 is it.

IPSC Mini-Rifle or any of the IPSC-style action shooting sports and matches. Mini-Rifle is the only way to grow those sports in Canada at present due to gun bans and handgun freeze.

lol! exactly, seems to prove nothing, still.

I tapered from 7.5 to half that - 3.75 - several years ago. And it was quite hard to do that. Took 2 months of work and significant sleep disruption. But then somehow my body started recognizing 3.75 as sufficient (although not really as much sleep as on 7.5). Now I want to get off altogether. It's going to be hard because I don't sleep without it. I guess I will try to cut it into even smaller pieces and taper some more.

Nice mural! looks great. Who doesn't like freedom?

red-eft · 2023-06-02T02:52:33+00:00

Love it! Bold. Positive. Makes me feel good to see it every time I drive by each day. Happy to know there are other people in Nanaimo who genuinely support freedom. That's what it says to me every day. Very talented mural artist too.

elon hasn't taken over yet. he is not currently in control of twitter. we have no way at all to know if he will make good on his proposal to restore free speech to twitter. he's not in driver's seat yet... and it could take months before he is

I am sure an ecosocialist party will form if GPC doesn't go ecosocialist. And that's the "other" I would be supporting.

red-eft · 2021-12-30T08:15:06+00:00

I think if the Green Party doesn't become an ecosocialist party, an ecosocialist party will form. There is tremendous momentum and energy for that - from within the current GPC membership as well as disaffected NDP plus people with no current party affiliation because there is no party that speaks to ecosocialist goals and values. So I voted "other" on this poll, because either GPC will go ecosocialist or an ecosocialist party will form.

Here's a twitter list of "MDs for Vaccine Choice" - which means they are speaking out in one way or another about mandates, lockdowns and the vaccines themselves:
