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.

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

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.

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
