Read through a bunch of the posts here and seemed like the Smith and Wesson was a good quality .22 Semi Auto. Thanks for the input on those threads.
Mostly going to be plinker and used for squirrel hunting. We usually hunt with shotguns but I took my .22 out this year and had a lot more fun. Hunted with a bolt action which I really like but cycling between misses seemed to alert the squirrels to my location more than the actual shot. Plus I just needed a reason to buy a new gun. I'm going to roll with the iron sites for awhile and see if I can get efficient with them, but what is the board's suggestion for a scope if I decide to add one? Think I have a burris really inexpensive scope on my other .22.
I'm also 4 months into the wait list for a .22 silencer so some subsonics are going to be needed within the next 5 or 6 months hopefully.
Waiting for the rifle to arrive at the FFL. This is the one I ordered.

I run a cheap red dot and a cheap flash light on mine.
Sight it in for 45 yards or so and it's point and click for everything
Ditch the irons or flip ups entirely.
Eta: i run a kinetitech barrel shroud on mine for a little extra front weight.

I've got a couple, well, one now. I gave my Son the other one.
They're quality AR platform 22LRs. With ammo prices having gotten the way they are it's nice to be able to train with an AR in 22LR.
You can add a red dot and laser for a lot of fun.
Buy extra mags, as many as you can afford.

I have one and run a Sparrow can on it. Fun to shoot and stupid quiet with standard velocity ammo.

They are awesome guns. Don’t overthink it on optics. I have a sub-$100 Bushnell red dot on mine.
They aren’t very loud with SuperSonics out of the box. I put a Dead Air Mask on and it’s ridiculously quiet.

Suggest "cci suppressor" it is quiet like a CB but cycles fine.
fun at night with a thermal. Makes you feel like a kid again.

Dang it Outdoor Board. Y’all cost me money every time I stop by!

My brother has one of these, and I have to say it's a cool little rifle, but I was disappointed with the accuracy of it. It's hard to beat a Marlin model 60 for general.22 stuff. I have one of the remmington model 77s, which is cool, because it uses the box mags, but it's not nearly as accurate as the Marlin.
Hoping CZ will do a .22mag version
