BudsGunShop.com - Chiappa M1-22 reliability? or Henry AR-7?
-
-
Hey guys, I am looking for a good .22 rifle to purchase as a first rifle/gun to own. I was looking at the Chiappa m1-22 cuz I really like the design and I have a huge soft spot for WWII weapons. But I heard mixed feelings about the reliability of the M1-22 when it first came out. Is this still the case? I was also looking at the Henry AR-7, seems to be more popular and liked. I was thinking about making a 72-hour emergency backpack and this would fit way easier in a backpack. What do u think?

Between the two id get the Henry. Chiappa is a fine firearm too though. But the 702 Plinkster is a very reliable 22lr for about $120 and can't be beat price wise. The Ruger 10/22 Takedown is the best backpack 22lr you can get for your purpose though, IMO.
