Thoughts, comments, etc.
Thinking about buying one for plinking and maybe some squirrel hunting, anybody have one? Looks like a good little rifle, compact and accurate...so they say.

Lots of reviews on that site. Most of them are good and only a couple had problems. Only downfall I can see is the lack of any higher capacity mags.
I was thinking this would make a good companion for my 10/22...so I'm gonna get it:D

I will probably be adding one to the collection. I've had great luck with Walthers and the G22 looks like another fun gun to shoot.
I'd like to try out an SP22 when they come out as well. As accurate as my P22 is I'd love to see what a pistol that isn't so compact is capable of.

Yeah, the 10 rd mag with no upgrade is awful, otherwise I love this gun.

Umm, okay. That has nothing to do with the topic. :shaking:
I'm wondering if one could mod a P22 extended mag to fit this rifle, depending on how close the design is to the pistol I may have to give it a try...

Got a link for the extended mags for a P22? I've seen the +3 mag followers, but haven't seen any longer mags.

I could have sworn i read somewhere that the +3 mag followers for the P22 will work in the G22 mags, I'll have to do some searching at home tonight when I'm not limited to 1/4 of the net.

That may be what I was looking at, can't find the pic now. I'll do some more searching and see what I find.

Looks like the plus 3 followers will work with the G22.

Haven't found any higher cap mags for either.

Bummer, I haven't found anything either. It appears that what I thought was a high cap was actually a standard mag only slightly pushed into the well. Kind of a buzz kill.
A 13+1(12+1 really from what I read) would be better but I may just invest 2-3 more mags than originally planned.
Either way I look foward to getting it in here and thanks for the help.
