i did have a chance to fire the M&p 15-22. while i did like it.. and there is SO MUCH more available in aftermarket.. price point was an issue for me... when shopping for a 22 that is. i figured if i were to go with the m&p15-22 at around 5-600 why not just spend the 2-5 more and get a Real AR or build one lol so for what i have into the gun(ammo and the gun itself/ the bi-pod, scope and Reddot i had already) i couldnt complain
