Stay away from the Chiappa Firearms M1-22 carbine. This is supposedly a replica of the M1 carbine that shoots .22 lr. I took a young friend of mine to the range where he shot my CZ-452 and Remington 512. When he asked about what kind of .22 rifle he should buy, I suggested a CZ 452 or 455, a Ruger American rimfire, a 10/22, or a Savage bolt action rimfire. Instead he went to a gunstore and was talked into buying this Chiappa POS.
When we tried it at the range, he was having a hard time hitting clay pigeons at 30 yards from a rest with the Chiappa. Hitting my 2" and 1" spinners was out of the question. It wouldn't cycle any standard velocity .22 ammo either. I loaded a magazine with Mini-mags and tried it. I had difficulting operating the trigger and thought the safety was still on. Checking again, the safety was off. I estimate the trigger was around 14 to 16 pounds of grit and creep before a shot finally went off. I had a hard time keeping shots in a 4" cirlce at 30 yards with this piece of junk.
After my friend got used to the 2.5 pound Yo-Dave trigger and Tech Sights on my CZ-452 Lux, he was breaking clay pigeons into little pieces and hitting the 2" spinner with ease.
