Scully Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I have no idea, but based solely on manufacturer, I’d opt for either S&W or H&K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob85 Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Are you buying new? If so the southern gun company one is pretty much a custom build so I would assume you are more likely to get exactly what you want in the base gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 They arent made anymore I believe ? But there are some still new ones left in dealers, the SIG 522 in its various configurations. They are a full size trainer for the 'real' SIG 556 , with a proper barrel (the HK 416 and others have a thin barrel with plastic surround to make it look like a 5.56) folding stock and on the SWAT model quad rails, 16 inch barrel. The Kriss is a nice gun , but barrel length is a little long. The M + P Ive never handled , but Im told they are very plasticky. The Tippman, SGC and Lantac are expensive but quality. It really depends on what you are going to use it for, a 25M plinker can be served with the cheaper stuff, but if you want something thats vermin capable and accurate ,you need to spend money on a gun with a decent barrel.

Imperfection Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 A friend has the S&W. He did have to do some experimenting to find out what ammo it cycles though as it is a bit finicky subsonic ammo with CCI being the worst offender. Standard and high velocity stuff like mini-mags are fine. He also struggled to find a sound moderator to stay attached to the barrel too (its a rabbit gun).

Newbie to this Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 If you do go for the 15-22, have a look at the performance centre model if you want a more accurate rifle. Just be aware you cannot use a certain ammo in them. My 15-22 sport has been faultless but does leave something to be desired when it comes to accuracy.
