What’s everybody’s thoughts on this TCR 22? Accurate? Dependable? Ballpark price range?

My thought is that I’d buy a real one instead of a clone, unless I was going to pony up for a Kidd or Volquartson.
What fresh Hell is this?

I am sorry I just heard the model what are they a clone of? A 1022? The T/CR22 is based on the 10/22 with changes. The receiver is machined with an integrated rail. No barrel alignment issues. The magazine integrates a last shot hold open. The barrel is threaded for a break/suppressor. The sights are quick to acquire. The rifle is accurate for plinking or hunting. Ballpark pricing has been $300 for the current kit package.l

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.

Speaking of TC dropping something. I bought a 22 Classic and loved the gun but the magazine was made out of some kind of plastic that would break into several pieces. They send me a couple magazines then one day I called them up needing a magazine and they said they no longer make the gun and won’t support the magazines anymore and are never going to make anymore. They recommended I look online and pay whatever I could find them for, who needs a gun like that so I sold it and vowed to never buy anything TC. Ruger is a much better company IMO.

Yeah that sucks about TC. I'd never buy one either. If I were going to buy a 10-22 clone, it would be the Bergara BXR. You'll get a much better rifle (for the money), with better stock, barrel and better precision and accuracy.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

There are a number of firearms that Ruger no longer supports.

I had a T/C Classic and the magazine was a 5 round steel magazine.

The T/CR22 can use Ruger 10/22 magazines without modifications. The last shot hold open only works with T/C magazines.

I had one but with a red dot for plinking, never tried to see just how accurate it was. I hated the factory mag, it was a bear to remove. I eventually sent it down the road. Great feeling rifle though, really loved the stock. I wouldn't pay up for one but I have seen them for sale around 300 with the case and red dot, I think there is a lot of value you there.
