recommend me a second 'fun gun'
OK I have a CZ455 which I've popped a sightron 36x42 on so that is my serious target rimfire rifle (Shoots better than I do ATM)
I also have a GSG-1911 with the hope I can start some practical pistol at some point, and because its just fun as hell to shoot.
I've got a second slot for a rimfire rifle so I want something fun and semi automatic, but 1/2 way accurate
I did have a Bradley Arms BAR15 but I had to part ways with it due to new family and needing the £££ That thing was amazing and I quite like the AR style.
The obvious choices seem to be
Lantac improved CMMG- Quite ££ and not sure when they're back in
SW 15-22 - not sure about the polymer construction but again the pro ones are nearly lantac prices
Just get a 10/22 and slap a chassis on it and upgrade it as I go

Re: recommend me a second 'fun gun'
If you want something different then have a look at the Walther G22. It was the first rimfire I bought and to be honest has surprised me a little bit! I stuck a Simmons Whitetail 1.5-5x20 scope on it and it will shoot a 5p group at 25m all day providing I do my part. It's a fun, little bullpup semi-auto .22 rifle which is roughly the same price as a Ruger 10/22 prior to any "upgrades" that are bought for it.

A search here will yield countless discussions, some of them even moderate and non partisan, on the subject of the UKs pretendy AR market.

Re: recommend me a second 'fun gun'
we aren't allowed to enjoy shooting, you have to have a serious frown everytime you pull the trigger, did you not know that??
I bought a g36 as a fun gun, really enjoying it atm (but frowning on the outside )

My favourite 22 semi auto is the BSA Ralock.
The Marlin M1 look a like 989M2 also gets my vote for fun factor, reliability and accuracy.

hahaha I thought the AR fetish might get some comments ;-)
However some good suggestions there that I hadn't even considered or come across in my research

Re: recommend me a second 'fun gun'
I've mentioned them before, but a slightly different pretendy AR option is the Sig 522. I use mine for open sights lightweight sporting rifle and won my division last year. Very accurate, tolerant of all ammo, very easy to clean. Also a big slug of metal for the upper (if not lower) feels good. I much preferred it to the M&P15-22 whilst I was idly fondling them and very glad I bought it.
Good fun too. Definitely worth a look.

Quite, I appreciate then lengths that the UK manufacturers have to go to to address the S5/S1 issuesdromia wrote:Pretendy AR, we are not allowed real ARs in this country.

Which version is it that you have?
