What makes the M&P15-22 Sport a good choice?
The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Sport in Muddy Girl camo offers a solid entry into the AR-style rimfire market. When I’ve handled these, the polymer construction keeps the weight down, which is nice for a day at the range or for younger shooters. The M-LOK handguard is a practical addition, allowing for easy attachment of lights, lasers, or foregrips without needing to swap out the whole handguard. The included folding sights are functional right out of the box, but the Picatinny rail on top means you can throw on your preferred optic without any fuss. The 25-round magazine is standard for these, giving you plenty of plinking time before needing to reload. For anyone looking for a .22LR rifle that feels and operates like a centerfire AR, this Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Sport 22LR semi-auto rimfire is a straightforward option.
