Yep, read here for more info.  I believe this guy started the mall ninja.  Warning, DO NOT READ WHILE DRINKING!

Now that this is more well explained.  I agree with Blacktail Sniper; buy what you want. 

As far as mall ninjas go, I don't have anything against it.  It's just that a class of modifications beyond a good stock, sights, and trigger are more for flash than any utility.  The AR-22s kind of fit in that class, but that would not keep me from buying and enjoying one.

It was my thought that a 15-22 Semi Auto should have no issues puttin down a Cat or a Yote. It's not like they're Lions and Wolves...

Using a .22LR for Coyotes is gonna result in more wounded animals than dead ones.

It's funny how a single phone call can change everything..lol, I called my Dad about this very topic a few minutes ago. He builds AR's all the time, and I am always drooling when I go back home and see what he is up to with his collection. So i call tonight and apparently he bought a S&W 15-22 a few weeks back. He proceeded to tell me how it's a great rifle, fun to shoot and how he has changed alot of the stock parts over to some of his AR parts (i.e. 4 pound trigger and different grip etc).

So he asks why I want a 15-22, and I told him what I told you guys. He says, "I just got in a new lower receiver, if ya want it, it's yours, just go buy an upper receiver, Merry Xmas!"

So the story of the 15-22 has ended, caus he also told me I could have his 15-22 for my bday next month... Talk about a pretty sweet day, and an awesome dad!

Anyone know of a good upper for around $500? I was lookin at Rock River Arms... but just wondered if there was any others I should check out, I want to spend no more than 500-575, I can always get a really nice one later...
