That is one sweet 22 man! All of these great options is unfortunate because now i just want to go buy 15 guns lolll

We really are living in a Golden Age of firearms. Most market segments offer a multitude of solid, reliable and accurate options.

Tippmann has a folding stock option for your backpack...

I have had the M&P 15-22 and now have the H&K (Umarex by Walther). They are both okay, but feel sort of cheap to me.

My Tippmann is all metal and feels like a "real" gun. Not sure of the weight....I'll check that later, just out of curiosity.

They have (had) some plastic handguards that felt cheap. The Tippmann's also have a handful of proprietary parts which some might few unfavorably but "most" parts are cross compatible.

Man you gotta stop sending me this cool stuff. I think i am going to need a bigger backpack for everything, probably will be more of a mobile gun vault with straps at this point.

This looks to be the way to go for short barrel.
I've seen Tippman carbines at matches and they run really well.

I would definitely get one but it just doesn't feel right to drop that much on a plinker right now. Someone needs to put one on the classifieds real soon so i can get my 50 comments and snag it

INGO doesn't really 'narrow' choices.

Not really.

This looks like a pretty good deal:

Although I would pick a 10/22.

Does anyone have suggestions for good 22 semi-auto rifles? Wanting something to have as a small squirrel gun and for plinking targets.

Some kind of Marlin Model 60
Ruger 10-22 of some sort
In that order
Can't go wrong...Bill.

My first .22lr was a Marlin model Glenfield 60.
I ran thousands of rounds through that thing. In a moment of no funds, and even less sense. I sold it.
I regretted it immediately and replaced it with the identical "squirrel stock" and gold trigger.

I later also purchased a Ruger 10-22 which I later updated with a White Oak barrel and a Fajen thumb hole stock.

Both are tack drivers as far as I'm concerned but don't compete with them either.
It's probably nostalgia, but I always want to grab the Marlin first.
It also doesn't hurt that the Marlin holds like 16 rounds in the tube magazine.

I seriously doubt you would be unhappy with either choice.

One nice thing about the 10/22 (and all Rugers) is that you can safely dry-fire them. They have a cross bar which restrains the firing pin from striking the back of the chamber.

Sometimes. Not true on every gun. I've had to iron a chamber for a couple guys

Wow, was the bolt unaltered? Some remove the cross pin or put in a different firing pin.

Just bought a used 15-22. So far so good.

I have my dads old, black, Nylon 66, always heard those were nice shooters. Mine hasnt been shot in probably 35 years. Dad was the last one to shoot it, cant bring myself to use it.

Your Dad is probably wondering wth is wrong with you. Nylon Remingtons have appreciated considerably. Not my choice for an accurate semi auto but your Dad's may be quite good.
If you're going to buy a 10/22 and you just don't want to have to tinker with it to make it accurate, just spec out a Kidd rifle and don't look back. Did that for my wife and his guarantee is good as gold. That thing will shoot! Old Marlins and Mossbergs and Savages can be an addiction all by themselves.

My go-to squirrel gun was always my Browning SA-22 with a 4x scope

An excellent and classic choice.

 

[patience0830]

Remington 552 is semi auto, very accurate, and shoots longs and shorts. I like mine a lot but they are hard to find an expensive. My 10/22 has been an awesome rig as well. It doesn't like 25 round mags that much, but the 10 rounders are reliable.

Mine was not accurate enough to keep, unfortunately.

They were stock. Pin may have been out of spec. It also helps if you pin the f/p so it cannot jump up in the slot it rides in. 10/22s are not known for tight tolerances.
