Tacticool 22's Summary

[zman]

Where's Spikes Tactical ST-22?

It should be above the S&W MP15-22

You got that right especially if you have the Lothar-Walther barrel version.

No, I got the E. R. Shaw Barrel on mine.

I'll keep this simple...here are my results:

... The GSG5 is perfectly reliable and accurate but heavy for what it is. The Colt is imo equal to the GSG5 in reliability, accuracy and being over-weight with the fact that it doesn't have a working bolt release knocks it to 3rd place in my ranking.

Don't have the Sig yet but judging by the specs, it's heavy weight is going to place it below the S&W.

Whether if it's over weight or not would depend on what each individual want it for.

For me, I want the SIG 522's weight to be close to SIG 556 or SG551's weight as possible, and weight of the S&W and Colt to be close to CAR-15 as possible, since it's a training substitute.

I agree 100% with you Grayblue. That's why I would rather go with a .22 dedicated upper, or for move n shoot training you can do as I did and buy a conversion for your standard uppers, so it's almost 100% identical and you don't have to buy a bunch of new stuff for it like BUIS, optics, charging handles etc. The only downfall is the bolt catch doesn't work.
