need advise on .22 tactical

You have to ask yourself what your intention is. If you plan on using the rifle to defend against or attack little fluffy bunnies and squirrels then the choice should be based on different criteria than if you are using it as a training tool for a higher power cartridge.

Personally, I think the threat of rabid bloodsucking bunnies is greatly underestimated by everyone but the British (watch the prophetic combat training masterpiece "the holy Grail" by tactical expert Monty Python). I like my stainless 10/22 in a folding stock with an extended magazine release and butler creek hi cap mags. I consider it my primary weapon against zombie bunnies, fanged squirrels, mutant tribbles and deranged rats.

If you are going to train with it as an alternative to a 5.56x45 weapon at an indoor range or to reduce ammo costs, then you need to choose one that has the same controls as your primary weapon.
 
I was all set to buy an HK MP5 22lr...had the money put aside from the sale of another rifle.
Then, I stumbled into a 1968 Ruger 10/22 which is absolutely new in box...as if someone bought it and put it away in a closet, never firing it.....
When I realized I could have it for less than half the price of the HK MP5 22, I didn't think twice.
 
I want to use it in our local 3 gun matches, they only allow .22 cal rifles.
Went to my lgs today, handled mp15-22, mp5 clone, and 10/22.
Definatelly don't like mp5 clone, just not my cup of tea. SW is nice but pricey.
They didn't have 10/22 from the first pic, but i just handled basic model with flash hider. Im leaning towards getting it, then i can get familiar with it and decide how to dress it up :)
