Microgunner Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hello and welcome to the forum."Best" is subjective, so everyone's experience will be all their own.For me, I own or have owned a GSG 5, GSG Kalashnikov, SIG 522, Colt M4 OPS, Puma PPS, Remington 597 VTR and a CMMG Sierra.My favorites?CMMG Sierra, followed by my PPSThird would be my Remington 597 VTR.I sold my Colt M4 OPS when I purchased the CMMG. It's just that much better.IMOLots of choices. You'll be having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdavison Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 The Sig Sauer 522 is hands down the best on in my opinion. The accuracy is superb, but thats not the reason it gets my vote.Many of the tactical .22's have low grade construction. Plastic recievers, modified "airsoft" internals, barrel shrouds, low grade metallurgy, stamped sheet metal parts, etc.The Sig however is built extremely well. Aluminum upper reciever, solid milled bolt, real firing pin (not stamped sheet metal). AR style breakdown with no tools needed, solid one piece barrel, big beefy extractor, ability to work with aftermarket magazines, super smooth action, pre-threaded 1/2 x28 barrel for suppressors....All this combined puts it in the top of my list, and it continues to do so against not only the current guns, but new ones that come out. Ive just not seen anything that comes close to its construction, reliability and accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdavison Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Here is what the Sig Sauer 522 can do with 25 rounds of cheapo Federal Bulk ammo at 50 yds. Each of those squares is 1 square inch for size comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have the Colt M4 OPS, and have had it for 2 years. Very happy with it, and would not want to part with it. I understand the newer rifles have significant improvements, the Sig has great reviews, while the M&P is very easy to clean. (the Colt isn't) I have found the Colt to be very accurate for my needs.Regards,TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblinwheel Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I agree with TM on this one. The Colt, with it's all-metal construction, and it's ability to accept nearly ALL AR-compatible accessories, makes it the best deal going. From what I've read, Umarex has worked-out pretty much all of the necessary "bugs" present in many of the early versions: the CHAMBERS now accept a wider range of ammo. The DUST COVER is now FUNCTIONAL. The SAFETY is now 90 degrees (instead of 180). The sleeved barrel has proven to be a non-issue, as it's accuracy proves, at least in my case). The tighter TWIST in the rifling is a definite PLUS. Once you understand how to CLEAN it, there's no problem there either. Also, any "slop" experienced between the upper and lower receiver can be fixed in less than five minutes, and to me, the magazines are "beefier" than any .22 mag I've ever seen. The adjustable bolt-spring is a PLUS also, once you understand what to do, and when to do it. The one I have (earlier version), after a little breaking-in, and a little tuning, has become a reliable and deadly little booger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
