Looking for a decent .22 autoloader..Should I go with the Ruget 10/22 or wait and save for SW MP 15.22.

It depends on what you want. If you like the ar platforms better get the 15-22. For more of a general rifle platform get the 10/22. Personally id say get both

I have both and love both. The mp15-22 is the most used out of the two, especially with the kids mostly because of all the cool gadgets that were added to it: pa m3 multi reticle, magpull afg, pa 5x magnifier, pts popup mbus, caa stock thingy, and lots of mags. They use it for plinking, steel (optic and iron sights), obrams... I still use the Ruger, as usually its the only one I get to touch anymore. Both run perfect with the federal bulk packs.

I do like the AR platform as I have s Stag mod 3 already..but the rugers price and reliabilty are very tempting too

I had both, but got rid of the 10/22. The S&W eats the cheap ammo all day long and it's quite accurate.

I love my m&p 15-22. It's fun to shoot and much easier to clean than the ruger 10/22.

Had a 10/22, didn't like it, sold it. Now have a 15-22 that sees the bulk of my shooting.

I'm having this same issue.

 

I really want a Savage .22lr Bolt Action. I really want the look and feel of traditional shooting like my father and grandfather use to do, and I'd love to learn on such cheap ammo how to aim, shoot, breath, stand etc. But I'm scared if I get the M&P 15-22 I might just have a load of fun blowing off hundreds of rounds versus learning to shoot round by round.

 

Unless I get the M&P 15-22, and end up down the line with a .223 bolt action for some fun

All you guys getting rid of 10/22s. Where are they? I love them. always looking for an extra.

 

Though I don't own a S&W 15-22 (have shot one) IMHO the Ruger is more robust, shoots equally as well, and, has loads of accurizing accessories available.

My thoughts exactly... The ruger has endless upgrades available to become a tac driver.. but both are two totally different platforms..

Got both. I like the 10/22 MUCH Better since installing the auto bolt release. That is a must. I put a Nikon P-22 scope on the 15-22 and a Red Dot on the 10/22. Changes the role of each gun.
