Pictures of your optics

Honestly? Because you can.

The $200 isn't going to break anyone's bank, and it is fun. The gun is a little lighter and points a little better.

If you want to do things like put a real suppressor on it then you don't have 16" +4" of suppressor.

If you've got a .223 suppressor for it you can use it on other rifles, or if you get a .22 suppressor you can use it on other .22's.

EVERYONE who has a M&P 15/22 has a 16" one. If you make it shorter you can make it personal.

My personal reason is I use my 15/22 in 3 gun matches. It's easier and quicker to navigate corners and doorways with the shorter rifle than the longer one. If I had a .223 AR I'd also chop it.

You also don't lose THAT much velocity with the shorter barrels. You are generally going to want to keep it inside of 100 yards anyway, something you can do quite well with a .22 pistol with 4" barrels. Leaving it at 10"+ means you can easily do that.

Someone posted a chart a while ago about the velocities of .22 from different barrel lengths and the 10"+ were all in the same ballpark anyway.

I have a .223 sbr already, and a .223 can. That's why I find it tough to swallow doing it to a 15-22. Where to they allow you to run a .22 in 3 gun matches? That's pretty cool. In the 2/3 gun competitions I compete in they do not allow rimfire, however they have made an exception for my son to run his 15-22 due to his age.

We had a course of fire at our last match that had steel tgts at 100, 200 and 350 yrds. My son struggled to find the holdover on the 200yrd steel and my concern is chopping the barrel down would hurt him in a long range COF.

You are right though, it would be pretty cool if I sbr'd his 15-22.

I'll have to check the rules but IDPA's 3 gun,called Defensive Multi Gun, when organised by the South African Defensive Pistol Association has a rimfire category, for rifles only. That may be a special ruling for local gun laws and our situation.

It is harder to justify if you already have a SBR, but then you use the excuse you are setting it up identically to the .223 for cheaper training

I like your thinking ;-) lol

Here is mine, it is a Leapers UTG 30mm SWAT 3-12 x 44 Compact IE Rifle scope w/AO Mil-dot, 36 Color EZ-Tap. I'm using the UTG QD 30mm 4-screw Hi-Profile Weaver Rail Scope Rings. I really like this setup especially for long distance shooting.

Here is mine.

Real nice! I have the same scope and love it.

What bi-pod is that and does it work with 25rd mags?

The bi-pod is by CAA (Command Arms Accessories), and yes it works fine for me with the 25 rd. mags.

Cheap Ncstar 4x32 markiii tactical.

Pretty dam accurate - sighted it in and removed to sight in magpul sights - clamped it back on and it was dead on still.

Only complaint was that I had to remove the base and flip it 180 deg to have the qr lever clear everything. Easy fix though.

Here's Mine. Pretty basic compared to most of you!

Truglo 2 x 42 Multi Reticle Green/Red Dot.

Couldn't really tell you much about the riser. Here's the link though: AR15 M4 FLAT TOP COMPACT 1/2 INCH RISER MOUNT PICATINNY RAIL: Amazon.com: Sports & Outdoors

Cheap ProMag foregrip and Hogue Pistol grip.

Haven't actually been out since I've added any of this lol. I do really like this setup though. Hopefully this weekend.

I'm also running the UTG 3-12x44 Compact on a Burris PEPR. Had to bevel the outer ends for the scope to fit but was well worth it. I guess I got a good one, crisp lines on the reticle, lights up nice and bright, and the adjustable parallax works great.

Mine has Nikon P-22 2-7X32 on a Nikon M-223 (AR) mount.

I really like this combination

You'll get better accuracy if you move the mount back off of the rail and completely on to the receiver.

Hi, Just put a Simmons 22Mag 4X that I had on the bench from a trade years ago using a couple high tactical rings I bought on EBAY, with Butler Creek flip up caps

....wvleo

That sounds logical, but in practice made no difference at distances up to 100 yards.

 

[w0ady]

seems like a lot of scopes lately and not that many red dots.

 

[WVleo]

When I traded for the S&W MP15-22 ( a Ruger LCP, IWB and pocket holsters and .380 ammo was My trade bait ) it came with a BSA red-dot. I do have a early Primary Arms red dot on My SKS but for .22lr prefer a scope ( old eyes I guess ) . Plus My scope never needs batteries for My SHTF harvest weapon LOL......WVleo

 

[w0ady]

ya was just noticing i guess. i have both - red dot for short range indoors and scope for outdoors.

 

[DZH]

I like the scope for longer shooting. Plus eyes are getting bad.
