I don't know what it is, but I'm really starting to get the itch for a new 22lr rifle. It all started when the last trip to the range and my brother in law had a S&W 15-22. That thing was sweet. I've been tinkering with my 10-22 and finally have it where I want it for now, but it's not S&W 15-22.
I really like the idea of a semi auto 22lr that's built for high capacity magazines. I especially like the looks of the new S&W 15-22 MOE with the flip up sights. Add a cheapo red dot and it'd be the poor mans tricked out AR.
Then I get to thinking, well heck I've already got a semi auto 22lr (my 10-22) so why not go a different route, like savages new mark II fv-sr. It's a 16" heavy barreled 22lr with the accutrigger and a threaded muzzle. I think it'd be a fun little rifle to see just how far out I could reach with a 22lr. It'd make for some fun & cheap shooting.
Both these newer model rifles really appeal to me especially because they have threaded barrels and this may be the year I jump on the wagon and buy a suppressor.
Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on either of those two rifles? I know they aren't exactly apples to apples. I'm just interested in them and wondered if anyone had any experience with either.
