The TCR22, First impressions, Good, Bad, and Does it Cycle?

I picked this up over a year ago and its time to see if it really was a great deal...or a piece of junk. So far, i'll say...it appears to be a great, light weight option with extras and versatility! Steel plates and squirrels do not stand a chance. I think I will be happy with this Thompson Center TCR22 at the range and in the woods!
What is the best 22 you have ever owned? I have owned Brownings, Remingtons, Rugers, Berettas, Sigs,...whats your favorite though?
Who wants to see the TCR compared to the CLASSIC Ruger 10/22 ????

Hi, great video! Where did you find that rifle for $200 a year ago??? The base model without the extras that you have is priced at $400. Thanks again!

[@frankzhandamo]

I can’t even find these anywhere online…is TC going outta business?

[@jerseywoods9994]

I just bought one of these ..... I have a Ruger 10 22 and I love it. It's one of my favorites that I shoot. I can't wait to do a comparison of my TCR 22 and my Ruger 10 22. This should be a lot of fun to compare them and at the same time enjoy a day at the range.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

I should do that for a video! I love the 10-22, absolute classic

[@davedavis3467]

Got same package and it was 329 on sale few years ago ..price went up

[@hillbillyohio513]

I was thinking that thing would at least cost 300 being a Thompson. The best 22 rifle I ever had was a Remington 597, that thing is so accurate!

[@ShieldOutdoors]

I have a 597 i got when i was 15! I still use it every year but its time is coming to a close LOL On to the next one!

[@hillbillyohio513]

@@ShieldOutdoors yes sir, time to put it in the safe and let it rest lol.

[@jordanclements8178]

Dang great price!!! I saw this at the store the other day, they were asking $350..... I ended up ordering a Citadel Trakr instead due to costs

[@ShieldOutdoors]

It was a great deal but citadel isnt bad seriously

[@ToroMoto]

Can you by chance use a factory Ruger trigger pack and bolt in this receiver?

[@ShieldOutdoors]

ya know what, i am not sure! try it and let me know! I would say yes

[@stacimoore7953]

no the bolt is a touch different due to the bolt hold open,

[@ToroMoto]

@@stacimoore7953 okay appreciate it

[@jiroperez12]

Dang what a steal I got mine in 2020 for $350. 380 out the door!!

[@JonGunnerOutdoors]

I have a Ruger SR22 decked out with Magpul Pistol grip and adjustable stock with a Nikon P22 scope. And of course 25rnd mags. That thing is a tack driver!

[@ShieldOutdoors]

I bet it is! That sounds like an awesome setup!

[@FOXHOUND1956]

Love mine so smooth and great shooter excellent Quality

[@ShieldOutdoors]

oh im loving it! still need a scope for it tho

[@FOXHOUND1956]

@@ShieldOutdoors I bought the TCR 22 package that included the carrying case and a Red Dot Green Dot that's actually pretty nice.I enjoy shooting it and my wife likes it better then her GSG 1911-22 pistol.

[@garrettbarbosa4982]

My favorite 22 is my CZ ROYAL ITS MY comp. Gun it’s a laser I have 2 Henry one with octoganil barrel and a straight and another mossburg bolt with peep sights that’s a tack driver as well. Had a 2 10-22s and they suck for consistency with accuracy so there gone now shopping for the best 22 semi and it ain’t a 10-22 because I think they SUCK!!!! Don’t know why there so popular? I have and old friend that is a compition rifle shooter , old timer who is a master champion and he hates 10-22 as well so that made me feel better about my lack of success with 10-22s

[@nathanlongworth4410]

I've only shot one .22 in my life. That was I believe a lil daisy(?). It was a small pink rifle. We were cutting zip ties in half at my bachelor party with it. That was a fun gun.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

maybe it was a Cricket! Those are hilariously accurate tho

[@nathanlongworth4410]

Yes!! It was. You are a wealth of all knowledge

[@daveignite]

Great review! Thanks 👍my favorite 22 is the Ruger 1022.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Thanks Dave! Always appreciate your support !!!

[@thelethalpredator672]

WTH my parents got ripped off then cause they bought me one for my 16th here in a few days and got for $360, and I live in WV so there's no Sells tax on firearms and ammo anymore so that's a bonus I guess

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Well perhaps im wrong or maybe price went up! I see they are MSRP at like 400, but im pretty sure i paid like 220 lol

[@stacimoore7953]

I paid 400 for mine with zero extras

[@MinimalistOutdoors]

I would buy that 👍

[@ShieldOutdoors]

Great gun so far! Need to do an accuracy test!

[@MinimalistOutdoors]

@@ShieldOutdoors thatd be great to see. We should try a collab 👍

[@txhuntsman]

The fact that you have to say mother may I to the ATF pisses me off but I will leave that full rant for another time. That is a nice little rifle. I like it a lot. It’s nice light rifle that can be carried for hours. The red dot that comes with it is actually quite good. Thanks for sharing yours.

[@ShieldOutdoors]

lol yeah, suppressors shouldnt be regulated by the ATF anymore but heck, what do i know lol

[@slackleashdogtraining3598]

Low grade commentator doesn’t understand the named part of the rifle. Really really, (really?) C’mon. And a peep sight is not an open site. It’s difficult the get useable infromation in the midst of all the YAMMERING.

[@Detman329]

Ruger 10/22 clone,nothing new.
