■ BLACK
The Rock Island Armory TM22 is a value-driven, magazine-fed rimfire that blends modern ergonomics with fuss-free reliability—ideal for Canadian range days, club/steel events, small-game practice, and group training. The platform’s optics-ready receiver and straightforward controls help new shooters build confidence, while experienced owners appreciate the low running costs and easy maintenance. With both 20″ and 18″ barrels, you can prioritize either stability/velocity (20″) or handiness/weight (18″) without changing the core accuracy and reliability the TM22 family is known for.
🔧 Feature Highlights
🎯 Two Practical Barrel Choices (20″ & 18″)
Pick 20″ for a touch more sight radius and velocity on reactive steel or small game; choose 18″ when maneuverability and lighter front weight matter.
🧱 Semi-Auto .22 LR for High-Volume Training
Soft recoil and consistent cycling let you run long practice strings, fundamentals, and transitions without fatigue—perfect for new shooters and clubs.
🔧 Optics-Ready Receiver
Bolt on a red dot or scope without extra bases. Faster setup and repeatable zero help you move from plinking to precision drills seamlessly.
🔩 Detachable Magazines (Canada-Compliant)
Magazine-fed convenience keeps the line moving. Typical TM22 mags are pinned to legal capacity, making compliance simple.
🧰 Modern, Easy-to-Grip Furniture
Straight recoil path and user-friendly controls support stable positions off benches, bags, or field rests—even with gloves.
🛡️ Non-Restricted in Canada
PAL-holders can enjoy the TM22 on Crown land and in the field (observe provincial game/transport rules). It’s built for real Canadian use.
