TCR22 Reviews

[Elnino31]

haven't seen much on this site about the TCR22. Just one post that I could find with some quality control issues.

Looking at buying one next week, $287 plus tax.

Can’t really justify buying an x-ring at nearly 3 times the price. Appears to be a decent 22 for the money. Anyone else pick one up?

Seems like an upgrade from a standard 10/22 for less than $100 difference. Standard threaded barrel, the receiver, and a slightly better stock are what’s attractive to me. I’m planning to stick a vortex viper and use for plinking.

I have an sr22 pistol and it is extremely finicky when shooting suppressed.

I bought one a long while back and that one rifle been the basis of most of my custom builds. It's a nice rifle and functions well. The problem I had with it was the barrel wasn't as accurate as I wanted for NRL22. Although the stock allows for a bull barrel, you loose the m-lok when you put in a bull barrel unlike the X-22 stock it's based on. You might read this post of mine:

The photos have nothing to do with the T/CR22, but the story does. This is (currently) how the T/CR looks as a lite-weight build:

As it comes from the factory, it'd be a fine squirrel/plinking rifle.

Thanks bill, read through your posts and appreciate all the insight. I totally understand the dilemma of long term costs on the 22’s. I’d love to just buy a kidd / Tac solutions / Volquartsen variant, but I know that the limited time I have to shoot, is spent with centerfire.

I’m hoping my son enjoys shooting, so a budget build or range toy is where I ultimately would like to end up. Could certainly see replacing the barrel, box trigger, and full magpul x22 stock as future upgrades

I reviewed the performance center version earlier this year. It did pretty well and the only issues that i had were due to crappy plinking ammo. Accuracy was sufficient for NRL but the trigger could use a little tune up IMO. With premium ammo it was as capable as my modified 10/22 that i use for local precision rimfire matches.

The Performance Center TCR22 Rifle

When a lot of you see the Performance Center TCR22, one of the first thoughts that may come to mind is “Oh great, another 10/22 clone!”. I was certainly not immune from thinking this when I saw this rifle for the first time at SHOT Show, but I’ve learned you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

I'm not super experienced, but I also own one of these, the "standard" model with the olive drab polymer stock, and I find it lots of fun. The peep/fiber optic sights alone make it very easy to land hits on target, and there's a ton of little things (the aforementioned sights, pre-drilled sling studs, auto bolt release so you don't need to handle the bolt hold-open lever to chamber a new round) that would push up the price on a standard 10/22 to above that of the TCR22.

I understand that that's not a super in-depth review, and that the only modification I've made is adding a $30 Tech Sights sling, but since you mention it's for plinking, I would say that it would be very good in that role.
