It feels cheap, and the mags are a bitch to load, but it shoots well enough. Personally I prefer a 1022, but I get the appeal of the the MP 15 22 for an inexpensive training rig. It's all polymer, and feels like it, but it's still a fun shooter. I would never count on it, or any 22, for home defense though.

If you want a rifle that's cheap to feed and can be used for home defense, maybe consider the Ruger PC Carbine.

  • It's chambered in 9mm, so you can count on it for home defense.
  • It uses glock mags which are easy to find, easy to load, and can be used in most 9mm Glock handgun, so you won't need to blow money on different mags for different guns if you also end up getting a 9mm Glock, like a G19 for example.
  • It's CA legal.
  • It's a takedown rifle, making it easy to store or transport.
  • It's fairly inexpensive to purchase. I"ve seen them as cheap as about $500.
  • Bulk FMJ 9mm is cheap. Not as cheap as 22LR, but still much cheaper than 5.56.

The hi point carbine is cheaper and just as reliable

Thanks dude you made some excellent points. I was literally just looking at the ruger 10 minutes ago. I really like it. Man it's crazy how ammo is sold out everywhere I look.

The other nice thing about the Ruger PCC is 9mm is one of the easiest and least expensive rounds to reload. You can even cast your own lead bullets and not have to worry about jacketing them. And the casings, because they're not necked down like a rifle casing such as 5.56, can be reloaded almost endlessly.

I've been eyeing it since it came out. I was hoping they'd release a 10mm and/or a 45acp version, but so far, no dice. I might just have to get the 9mm version in the mean time.

Edit: btw I have shot one, I'm not trying to recommend a gun I have no trigger time with. It shoots really well, and is pretty comfortable.
