Yep, got one as well. I bought it for the wife so she would get used to the AR type rifle. Neat gun, fun to shoot, and now she has adopted my Spike. You will get tons of fun out of it.
Amazing how many 22 rifles are out now on full assault rifle platforms.

yea, i debated a 10-22 for a long time, but after talking with a bunch of guys at my club that have both they all said the 10-22 just sits and they bring the 15-22 out every time.
I wasn't looking for a nail driver, but something fun to let out. My wife is excited to shoot the thing as well.
Unfortunately for rifles we are limited to .22 at our club

Just a cheap red dot for her. Its more for fun than anything, and yes, I have the 10-22 as well, but sits in the safe all the time.
Just ordered a SIG556-22LR for the shop wall. What the heck right?

I'm really starting to love this thing, put a primary arms 1-4x on it and have been practicing for a tactical .22 sniper event we have coming up at my club this weekend. This is at 75 yards

A lot of fun aren't they? We just picked up a GSG522 for the shop. Rather fun looking weapon, nice weight, doesnt feel plasticky. I wanted the AK version for the shop, but those are banned in CA???? Please explain that one to me...

And ya. It's an absolute blast. I have a little over 2,000 rds through it now. I put the JP yellow trigger spring set in it this week. In now looking at a 2 stage trigger set
