I've been reading about them and so far really good reviews for the 522. I think I'd get one.

I have both.

If you want a .22 to mimic an AR, the S&W is great....if you just want a well made .22 tactical style rifle...the 522 SIG is very well made and solid.

Both great guns, but alot of people will think the SIG is more gun for the money.

I have the Ruger SR22 and the SW M&P15-22....I like the ruger and am selling the brand new SW to buy another SR22. Nothing wrong with the SW just like the Ruger 10/22 action...and so will my grandkids...

My S&W AR22 shoots well. There's a FTF once in a while, but accuracy is real nice. The bbl is free floated & made by Thompson Contender.

I assume you are referring to the plastic not lasting.....have you heard about the plastic in the landfills that is going to stay around for thousands of years....

I'm just F-ing with you

If they were about $200 less they still would be overpriced.  Buy a 10/22 or if you absolutely have to be tacticool, get a conversion kit.  And yes I have shot both the S&W and the Sig.

The only reason the Sig 522 is better than the M&P 15-22 is because it uses blackdog mags (same mags as .22lr AR uppers)
Other than that, go for a M&P 15-22. It's a more faithful .22lr AR clone.

Can't compare, but the Wife just got the SIG522.  She's a SIG fan.  We took it home, cleaned and lubed it, and put an old Holosight on it.  Went to the range and shot approximately 400 rounds of CCI Mini-Mags.  Ran like a scalded dog, no jams or FTFs the entire session.  Decently accurate and a breeze to clean.  She loves it and I can't find fault with it.  Paid about $460 for it.  Nice fun gun.

Sweet.

Got a part number for the forearm?

I don't have the S&W because of the mags.  the Smith shoots  nice but are a  little more ammo picky than my very reliable Sig 522, Tac Sol M4, and  half dozen 10/22's. The 10/22 is cheaper and everyone should have at least one  of them and I suggest buying an older (pre plastic & crap finnish) one used.

The "tactical" 22's are way more fun for off hand shooting.

+100 to that !  But if the new Umarex HK416 is as nice as the pix show, the SIG522 is gonzo; SIG cust svc can ES&D.

Only handled the S&W M&P-15/22, put it on my short list of gets for 2010, but have since removed it when S&W replied to me that they have no intentions of making an M4rgery version (like the Umarex "Colts") of their M&P 15/22. Guess they don't want to risk any non-PC sales potential.
