10-22 vs M&P15-22

I did look at the Sig. It was pretty sweet.
I know the FB thing has already come up once or twice. I just kindly invite those "concerned" ( nosy, paranoid, anti gun nuts) to come over to the house any time night or day and try and find a gun in my house accessible to a child without my or dad's help.
They are all locked up in safes with an unknown combo to said child. Ammo locked in different safe with mags.

The only firearms in my house that are loaded are either on me or my husband, or locked in an individual pistol safe.

Kills me how people just assume...I'm sure in someone's mind we're one of "those" families.

i know the feeling all to well even though i dont have kids, i was one of those kids that grew up in the back woods where it was common to walk in the house where a gun was in 4 out of 5 rooms. from the age of 10 i was raised on gun saftey and owned, kept, stored my own firearms since i was 16. i turned out fine, but i was scared to death of my parents.... eh the good days are gone i guess lol hope he enjoys it and keeps it around, it will serve him well!

You are a good Mom!

I have both and like the S&W the best. If you have the cash, the Sig 522 is even more fun.

i have both and shoot the crap out of both, i have had no problems with my sw 22 and like the fact that it functions like my M4. either will be a good choice.

i was looking at the m&p15-22 but i bought the ruger for all the after market parts

When your .22 is less reliable than the bulk ammo you shoot out of it, you've got a problem. Go with the 10/22 and trick it out. For the same $ you can have a tactical stock, sub 3lb trigger, cheap reflex sight, & 2 steel lip hi-cap mags.

10/22 - as previously suggested, a scope, extra mags and a lot of ammo and you will still be under what you would have just paid for the S&W.

i agree,how do you want your child to shoot if it looks like an AR they will shoot it like an AR spray and pray. teach them to shoot a real rifle like it needs to be shot then add in the tactial stuff.
I would go with the ruger 10\22 or the Rem 597 there are enouph aftermarket acc's. they can bulid what ever kind of gun that is in style at the time.
but it sounds like you have a handle on things, learninig how to shoot and take care of the responsability of owning a fire arm is much more important than what you are shooting
good work mom. there a people (both sex's) that if there kid asked for a gun would send them to the shrink. again good work.

Get a SIG 522 and don't look back. Mine is my favorite rifle now.
