Chris, it does. I have updated the post.

Although the answer is probably “yes,” it wasn’t specified if the rifle takes Ruger 10/22 magazines (although I expect it does).

Personally, I have a Spike’s Tactical .223 SBR with a drop-in .22 conversion kit that runs great, and as already mentioned, I can use full power loads anytime just by switching the bolt group out. No reason to buy a dedicated tactical .22 (and I also confess to owning a 10/22, which I am considering converting to SBR and making it into basically a folding-stock Charger).

I paid $800 for my 5.56mm AR-15, WITH a CMMG .22LR conversion kit for it.

You can’t make much better a fighting rifle trainer than to take your fighting rifle and drop parts in it to let you shoot .22LR

Sorry, a grand for a .22 that can only ever shoot .22? No thank you.

(fair disclosure: my son and I both have 10/22s and I may well end up putting a $80 Tapco stock on mine, unless I find another 10/22 cheap at a gun show and tactical-ify it. But I’m not paying that kind of money on this thing, no matter how cool it is)

I can sort of see the point of a tactical .22 – it’s for people who want a tacticool EBR and actually enjoy shooting it. .22 LR is still dirt cheap and likely to remain so and you can actually use it for plinking (where legal) without annoying the neighbors. I probably wouldn’t buy one but I can sort of see the appeal.

Now, a $1000 tacticool .22? Beats me. At the distances where using a .22 rifle makes sense (varmint control, plinking) you don’t really need a super-accurate gun or optics. I’d rather use the money to buy a real AR or half a dozen C&Rs.

You know how you see old “Fitz Special” Colt revolvers at the gun shows which have had their hammers bobbed, their barrels cut off behind the front sight, and the trigger guard cut away in the front to make them faster on the draw? I think that future generations are going to see all of these expensive “Tacticool” .22s and think the same thing; “What a bunch of idiots”.

This looks cool but my Spikes Tactical ST-22 takes the cake. Sure, it cost me nearly $1000 but it runs like a Swiss watch and looks twice as good. Just make sure you order with the Lothar-Walther match barrel. It is at the top of my fun-gun list. A whole day of match-accuracy plinking for $20 worth of ammo. That is hard to beat!

Someone REALLY has to explain me the point of a tactical .22.

(still, it looks awesome)

Seems like a tough sell when a S&W M&P15-22 can be had for less than $500. The pistol grip is proprietary and integral to the receiver assembly, which is -1 for tacticool customization. Still, it’s black and has rails on it so I’m sure someone will buy it.

Damn I wish they just made one I could drop one of my 10/22 receivers into to save money! Like you said though, this is by far the coolest looking tactical conversion kit so far.
