I'm looking for honest feedback from everyone like myself who hasn't had a problem with there 15-22. I've put 600 rounds through mine without a problem. I'm looking for others who have had this same experience WITHOUT sending theres back. Tell us why you like it. I already know why I like mine. It's been trouble free,easy on the wallet and it puts a smile on my face. Who else HASN'T had problems?

I have done nothing but enjoy mine. Every one who has shot it has been favorably impressed. I may put an optic on it at some point and maybe a better trigger, it is really just fine the way it is.

If your gonna make this post, might as well add build date or Serial #.
I haven't had any problems with mine yet, but i've only thrown about 25 rounds of CCI mini mag down her throat.

Oh, and my serial is DTM30**
 
Very..very..happy camper here. :D

Works flawlessly, never been sent back to S&W.

Loves CCI MINI Mag, Stinger, CCI Standard Velocity and Federal Lightning.
Doesn't like Rem. Thunder Bolt, really hates Rem. Golden Bullet.

DTH xxxx, got the rilfe Oct 09.

Mine had the simple FTE problem to begin w/ but only required a bend of the ejector. FTfeed on occasion but that's the mags. I don't really care though. It's so much fun to shoot and tinker w/. It costs almost nothing to shoot. It was a great purchase and I would love to have another one and would buy another one if I really needed it.
 
Mine has 1200+ Federal Bulk Pack 550's through it and it is operating near flawless. I had one fail to feed today in 150 rounds fired. This is the first fail to feed in 400-500 rounds.

Accuracy is good. I have a PA M3 red dot with a 3X magnifier that gave me a .25" 5 shot group at 50' this morning. With a new set of Magpul flip up sights I installed this week I was getting .5" 5 shot groups using only the iron sights. In both instances I was firing from a bench using a bi-pod at 50'.

I have done the 15 minute trigger job and this morning was the first firing session after it was done. It made a noticable difference in the trigger pull and control.

I'm still pleased with my investment in my 15-22.

I'm up to 600/700 rds with one FTF. Using CCI 40 gr. Still have not cleaned it, just to see how long I can go without a problem. Shoots fine a 50 yds. All the rds are in the red or in the head with iron sights. I have a red dot, but prefer the open sights. It's a lot a fun shooting this gun and cheaper than .45. Serial number is DTM03**.

i've got a DTH.

i'm up to about 1500 rounds. fired 500 this weekend with ZERO issues (slow fire and as rapid as i could pull the trigger). in my 1500 rounds i have about 8 FTFs. i think i've finally got her broken in.

installed the 3.5lb JP springs this weekend and my trigger pin walk it gone. i've got a heavier pull now and more creep than when i was using my springs with the 15 minute modified trigger job but i'm happy with it. the anti-walk pins i bought will only fit with modification as chuck s told me so i'll put them on my AR.

shoots good groups with red dot and irons.

this is by far my new favorite gun to shoot. if i could only stop buying accessories...
 
DTU / 600 rounds

It is running great without any malfunctions. This is one of the few rifles that I will be keeping the box for. I will be picking up the magpul moe version as well.

i got mine sept 4th, sent back to s&w on the 8th, got it back in October. Got about 800rds through it since its return, and i love this Gun!!!!! I shot mainly the 550 Federal Bulk from walmart, but also have used CCI mini mags, winchester SuperX SuperSpeedRN without issue. I even tried a mag full of Winchester Wildcats couple weeks ago, without 1 single hicup, i was like 'WOW'.
 
I have been quite pleased with the rifle for what I purchased it for-- making pop cans dance and having fun dressing up 4 foot of rail space. That being said... If I had purchased the rifle intending to put to use a "Match Grade Precision Barrel" I would have made a big mistake with the 15-22. The rifle looks a hell of a lot better than it shoots.

Purchased Oct 2009. DTH. 13k rounds Fed Val Pack. Zero FTE, FTF or OOB. about 1% FTL (Mag snags). Happy Camper.

And best of all... I have made some good friends here.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Was an absolute blast to shoot today except for the few brass that deflected off my range stall and landed on my head.... :D
 
DTU with 600 rounds through it, mostly CCI mini-mags & Federal Bulk. Absolutely trouble free so far. Unfortunately, I bought a brick of CCI stingers last weekend and now I'm addicted to shooting this gun! I've been to the range in 20 degree weather 3 times in the last week and a half & plan on going again tomorrow. I've put a bi-pod & 3-9x scope on it and couldn't be happier with it. Haven't been a lot of other shooters at the range because of the cold, but I get a lot of questions about the gun every time.:D
 
Got mine Oct 09 with over 7k ran through it and very few hiccups, been very pleased with it.

50 squirrels
5 rabbits
2 possums

I have a TON of fun with mine, and everyone else who has shot it loved it too!
 
Bought mine in Aug 2009, s/n DSX3xxx, must have been one of the first ones out the Factory door. Have exactly 1000 rounds down range to date. Mostly Win, Fed, and CCI's. I did use the Rem GB's early on which did cause one OOB, fortunately the extractor survived it. I've had maybe a dozen FTFeed's along with a couple FTFire's (mostly with the Rem GB's) and almost all of them were within the first few hundred rounds. It has been 100% the last few times at the range. I'm really lovin' mine!!
