. My head is squarely upon my shoulders. There is nothing wrong with a .22 in an AR platform and provided that young people are introduced to shooting in manner that highlights safe handling it matters not what the action of the firearm is and nor does it matter what it looks like. My Tippmann is black (I trust you do not discriminate based on colour) and it looks like a military platform firearm (I trust you are not a conscientious objector or pacifist) and it has been the firearm with which I have introduced many young people to firearms sporting activities. They have all learned what it is to act safely and be responsible with a firearm and they all will remember the experience for a very long time as the had a shit tonne of fun in the process.

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

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

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

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

Very nice

It's ironic that the anti-gun bigade might find a true military ex WW2 Lee Enfield converted to 22lr as ok, while a 22lr AR platform that has never been used in any conflict as bad. I wonder if a 10/22 becomes evil in a black plastic stock compared to a wood one?

well i do own one with a dragunov stock, did it to make it a bit longer length of pull.

we have them at the moment and may that continue but look at some of the rubbish the anti gun brigade publish and weep

You’re a cock, they are legal and legitimate and can be used safely and legitimately just like any other firearm.

So everyone has got a little excited back to my original question tippmann is the best ???

Mine was really accurate out of the box compared to other semi 22. Once I fitted a CMC comp trigger it became as accurate as my Tikka T1x. Repeatable one hole 10 shot group at 50m minus the odd firecracker flyer. Most 3 shot group at 100m are under 1.5moa without wind and on an A4 piece of paper at 300m.

Never jam with cci sv. Had few jam with Tac22 while super accurate, just too waxy.

10 shot at 50m supressed, cci sv
