ria/armscor tm22-a-18. 18" barrel. 22lr. $299

RIA/Armscor build quality firearms at half the price (or less) than their domestic counterparts, and the TM22 promises to maintain that pleasing duality. One of the factors that necessitates their lofty production standards is the fact that they host a competitive team - Team Armscor - who represent the company in competitions against the world’s top shooters. They got to where they are with many hours of practice and dedication, not to mention they compete exclusively with their company's firearms so their firearms have to be up to snuff. At first glance (we haven't fired one) the TM22 rifle above checks all the boxes for what American shooters look for in a rimfire AR-styled platform, and not least for the MSRP.  Though it may depart slightly from the familiar AR patterned controls, it offers ambidextrous simplicity of function, a 2lb trigger, aluminum mags (10rnd standard with 15rnd and 25rnd available aftermarket), rails, M-Lok and a threaded barrel for what'll probably end up being $250 on line. Now that's good value. This from the Armscor WEBSITE:
