I have owned both. Great little rifles, currently still own a Yonkers, NY K22 that I bought new in 2002. It is a more reliably accurate than my M82 with a variety of ammo. Took a while to figure out what brand the M82 liked. Both would shoot under a half inch at 50 yds. K22 well under most times.
Shot sporter class silhouette and hunted small game with both. The bluing on the M82 was much better, the stock on my K22 is beautiful.
I would buy either one if you want a very classy, accurate .22 sporter.
