    Rock Island Armory M22 22 TCM Rifle

    Anyone using one ?

    As I was thinking if a good shooter
    I would think with the small case
    I could work up some nice 22 LR type rounds to use for Tree Rats
    Also it should be a easy round for short to medium range ground hogs

    The only one I ever saw was at an auction, where it went for something like twice suggested retail price several years ago. Frankly, I wasn't impressed with the rifle. Maybe they have improved fit and finish, the one on the website looks a lot better than the one I saw in person.

    If you get a decent one, I can see it being useful. It seems to be in the .22 Hornet/ .218 Bee class if the advertised velocities are anywhere close to reality.

    You could load a lot of rounds with a pound of Bullseye.

    I've kicked around the idea of getting one. It MIGHT scratch that 22 Hornet itch I've had for years.

    I've yet to actually handle one of the rifles. I would be concerned about extra mags to start.
