With what T/C is building now, the TCR, I think you should just buy a 10/22 synthetic with the laser.
Thompson used to make a really accurate 22, the R55. It is no longer produced and Thompson no longer acknowledges this line. I have one of them and it is super accurate. I had to go out and find more magazines to make sure I never run out.
If history stays the same, Thompson will drop the TCR also.
Buy the Ruger 10/22.
