The Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 is a modern-production semiautomatic rimfire rifle in .22 LR with a 16-inch barrel and flash hider. This used example, serial HCZ1792, wears an M-LOK handguard, a Picatinny rail and flip-up iron sights. It shows light marks throughout, and the supplier rates the overall condition as very good.

Pennsylvania does not allow semiautomatic rifles for deer, bear or elk, and the state wants centerfire for those animals anyway, so treat this as a range and training rifle. It mirrors the controls and handling of a larger tactical rifle in a cartridge that is easy on new shooters, which makes it a sensible first rifle for a teenager learning on a club range, or a practice gun for someone who already owns a centerfire version. The rail takes an optic and the folding irons stay down until you need them. Light handling marks aside, it is ready to shoot as it sits.
