    Not that common.
    Seem to be more 17 WSM versions ones around.
    Check out the Franklin Armory F17 series.
    The prices will make your eyes water though.

    I'll be on the look out for good 22 mag semi too (with multiple mags), along with possibly 150,000 other NZ shooters. I like the look of this one, anyone want to import a bunch?

    Ken At NZAR15 might be interested. He's also got a few Troy PAR's, in case that floats your boat.

    There are 22 Mag AR-15s, but they aren't easy to find and you'll be paying double what a CZ 512 Tactical will cost.
    That said, it was still remiss of me to leave them out, so here you go:

    These are made by an American company called Ray-Vin, but are no longer listed on their website.
    https://rimfireworld.com/brandes-mag...-ar-15-uppers/

    These are made by a British company called Northwest Custom Parts. They're good, but very pricey.

    https://nwcustomparts.com/product/nw...mr-semi-autos/

    The Tanfoglio Appeal, also known as the EAA Appeal, is a wicked cool bullpup in 22 Mag, although it would need a tiny bit longer barrel to be legal here.
    Appeal Rifle - Tanfoglio - European American Armory Corp

    I'd also like to make some honourable mentions of non-AR 22 Mag Semi Autos that you might be able to find.

    The Savage A22 has a cool delayed-blowback system that allows better consistency with different brands of 22 Mag ammo.
    Magnum Research makes a Ruger 10/22 type rifle called the Magnum Lite .22 WMR.
    Volquartsen makes eight Ruger 10/22 type rifles. These are the Fusion Take-Down, Lightweight, Superlite, IF-5, SF-1, Classic, Deluxe, and Inferno.
    The CZ 512 is still available in non-tactical models as well.
    The Excel Arms Accelerator is a space-age-looking rifle that is still available in 22 Mag. Their reliability record is mixed, but there are good ones.

    If you're including rifles that are no longer in production, there's a decent selection:
    Heckler & Koch HK 300
    Brno ZKM-611
    Harrington & Richardson Model 700
    AMT 22 Magnum Hunter
    Marlin 922M
    Remington 597 Magnum
    Ruger 10/22 Magnum
