20 rounds is 5 bucks, that is besides the point. Just do not want two ARs and one doesn't do the work of the other. You might but I have more fun with my pistols allot more often. I have a browning .22 pistol that is a blast, but I could see going with the original post, would be sweet and I have no practicality forthe real deal. Just personal preference on my end, not what makes sense to you or anyone else because of different want/need/preference.

My wife mentioned that she moved (dad's) gun off of his couch the other day. Then she saw it in my truck so I had to fess up to it being mine. I am supposed to get out to a ranch this evening to put some rounds through it, hoping to see more than cans.

I love plinking with .22's, like you said, helluva lot easier to stomach throwing out 500 rounds for the cost of 20 .223's. Not like I am going hunting with a .22, unless you count turtles in our tank
BTW, gun in OP does look like a hellafun lil plinking gun.

Back from the range and ran 300 rounds of Federal bulk through it. Target was set at 20 yards
Pros -
its a 22 and cost about $8 to run 300 rounds through it.
very solid feel
amazingly accurate
easy to load mag
Cons -
its a heavy gun
mag takes a little getting used to getting it seated.
trigger is heavy
no rails for optics and the rail for the gun is stupid expensive
Not a single hiccup. And as you can see, it was like shooting down a pipe right out of the box. After 300 rounds, the gun didn't even get warm to the touch and accuracy never changed.
I have a 10/22 and a MP15/22.
I like the 15/22 best with the MP5/22 bringing up a close second.

I put four clips through it yesterday myself. No targets, shot at turtles on a pond. I had a hard time lining up the sight at different distances with such small ammo wanting to wander. I actually was able to shoot the first round and then walk it into closer where I wanted it rather easy, no recoil at all.
I have looked at the top rail but not gotten pricing, I would like to purchase a sight for it but not sure the value is there to put a sight on this gun. Either way, its a fun little rifle and myself and the kids will enjoy it.
Now I need to save up for a .308 sniper rifle, I want to shoot the 1,000 yard mark.
