lots of accurate .22 without having to look like a military piece of crap - begara CZ Anschutz Remington Tikka Sako - take your pick - range duty so trigger comfort - size - all have a role to play - does not have to be military looking in fact best not just a damn good accurate rifle- I am gob smacked that anyone in 2025 would introduce young people to shooting with a an AR look a like where is your head

It's just for a bit of fun .If I was going bolt I was thinking cz or tikka to match the rest .But having three bolt action .22 seems excessive if it was shotguns then no problem

Doesn't have to be military lookong no, but why can't it be military looking?

A lot of firearms interest lies in military history etc.. especially in younger people, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I didn't see your full comment for some reason the kids who are incidentally 22 shoot with bolt action 925 marlins the semi was for me to join in with them

fine - without teaching kids to be Rambo - pump action lots of fun- semi auto again lots of fun - lever again lots of fun - but have a think about military AR15 look a likes and what we are allowed - and what you are teaching - that's all I am saying - I rest my case no more from me

Tippaman is the best but if you don't want to spend that sort of money a Smith and Wesson might scratch the itch.

Ignore Barry the Fudd.

The AR platform is great, good ergonomics, quick adjust LOP so both you and your kids can comfortably shoot, mlok handguard so can easily attach a torch for hunting use. Can easily add sling mounts (in the right spots) if you want to teach the kids to shoot with a sling, or if you want carry the rifle slung across your chest while hunting.

I don't think that I'd ever take it hunting I'm still old school bolt action that way the only semi I hunt with the shoty sitting in the maimai everything nice and controlled

This is a 20 round group shot with a bone stock Tippmann M4 at 50m

I know the guys question was specifically asking about an AR platform.

Beavis is correct it’s the stock standard Tippman m4 (with a trigger upgrade).
