Range Time & Ammo Choice

For this review, I ran ammo that most people actually buy and shoot. I picked up my .22 LR from Brownells, using my BOP10 coupon code, which made it easy to stock up without overthinking it.

The TM22 ran reliably with bulk ammo, cycling smoothly through magazines without hiccups. That’s always a big win with rimfire, where reliability can vary wildly depending on the rifle. Accuracy was exactly what I’d expect — consistent, predictable, and more than capable for steel and paper at typical rimfire distances.

It’s the kind of rifle that lets you focus on shooting instead of troubleshooting, which is honestly what a .22 LR should be.

Ergonomics & Build Quality

The TM22 feels intuitive. Controls are easy to reach, the left-side charging handle works well, and the adjustable stock makes it comfortable for a wide range of shooters. The aluminum receiver and handguard give it a sturdy feel without making it heavy or awkward.

It doesn’t feel like a toy or a cheap plinker — it feels like a properly built rimfire rifle meant to be shot a lot.

Final Thoughts

The Derya TM22 Standard Rifle is a solid, enjoyable .22 LR that delivers where it matters: reliability, shootability, and overall quality. Whether you’re using it for training, plinking, or introducing new shooters, it’s an easy rifle to spend time behind.

Big thanks to Derya Arms for sending this rifle out for review, and to Brownells for being my go-to for ammo and gear — especially when you can save a bit using code BOP10.
