Enjoy those Tippmanns! They really are very well made 22s. My nephews were quite pleased when I gifted mine to them.
Picked up a couple of Tippmann Arms M4-22 AR's yesterday, a 7" pistol and a rifle. The pistol is awesome and should make for a fun mag dump machine. I am hoping the rifle shoots a little more accurately than the two MP15-22 rifles that I have played around with already (at best 1moa under the right conditions, but average 2-3moa). I had a slight oversight on the rifle and ordered the "Pro" model with the composite handguard. I should have got the "Elite Tactical" model with the aluminum handguard for $40 more. Tippmann sells the handguard separately for $85-$100 depending on the length. Supposedly it will use standard AR-15 handguards, so that might be an option down the road. We'll see if it causes any issues like the MP15-22 factory polymer handguard did to me before.
They both came with flip up sights, but I removed them. The rear sight is kind bulky and the scope wouldn't clear on the rifle along with decreased purchase on the charge handle. The front sight on the short handguard of the pistol obstructed the gripping area.
Thanks guys!
I made the mistake of pre-ordering some BCM trigger guards, only to find out the trigger guard on the Tippmanns is cast into the lower receiver as one whole piece. Oh well.
The proper plan-of-action is to build an entire BCM rifle around that trigger guard !
Anyone running a red dot on their 22 rifles? What are you using? How good are they for squirrel sized targets at 100 yards? Is there a decent 4x for rimfires?
DadSmith, looks awful good to me!
Love seeing other's range pics!
I think Aguila Super Extra is a great round...my inexpensive Marlin 795 loves it! 15 rounds at 50 yards...

I've had fairly good results with it and I think it does better than most bulk ammo. My go to .22LR ammo is CCI SV, but I still have a good amount of Aguila SV that I use on occasion.Looks like it must be consistent with several rifles. I can deal with 1" groups at 50 yards with a 22. Maybe I should grab 4 bricks of the super extra
