Cool "Sci-Fi" Looking .22 Caliber Rifle?

[THX1138]

I'm looking for a cool "sci-fi" looking .22 caliber rifle for target shooting that could be bought or ordered at local gun stores for under $500.00.

Not looking to buy one here on the Forum, just to make that clear... just hoping for some ideas on what to look for.

Styles and pictures would be great!

Thanks for the help and ideas!

Obviously the 10/22 rifle, aftermarket products can make it look like a Krinkov, a M4 or even a MG42. Look at my "Mg42" that was built from a 10/22 here http://vonmeer.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2lvgig

It's easy to turn a 10/22 into a prop shooter.

Not to be too obvious, but it may be a little over your price range. But a Calico 22 Cal Rifle is the perfect match. Basis of the under section of the Terminator Plasma Rifle.

The terminator plasma rifles had a calico 9mm in them, different look. The 22's were used pretty much as is in spaceballs though.

I'd say look at some of the different configurations of the GSG 22's. They are MP-5 clones, but they come in a wide variety of looks and cost around $500 depending on what you get.

I believe the Calico 9mm pistol was featured in the 1984 movie Runaway with Tom Selleck.

I do believe they were the used in the movie "I Come In Peace."

I recently bought a 9mm Calico and it was a fun little gun but it took a lot of ammo to break it in and even then I had to send it in for warranty work

Beretta I think has one coming out that looks very nice.If someone could please post a pic that would clear that up?

Sig has a nice 22 version of their 556

Calico M100
Ruger 10/22 (lots of ways to deck it out, bullpup stocks give it quick Scifi looks)
Browning Buck Mark Sporter
Sig 522
Excel Arms Accelerator MR-22

I would probably lean towards the 10/22 and just deck it out, it's a rock solid gun design that performs top notch over and over again, and it's cheap...

 

[BedlamX]

I have one of the GSG-5 SDs and an old Rhineland Arms R22 (I think that's what it was called anyway). Both are very nice shooters that grab attention at the range. The Accelerator MR-22 just screams "Buck Rogers" to me

 

[CeSquared]

There is also the Walther G22. Bullpup design, ambidextrous, and it uses Walther P22 mags.

You can't get the GSG-5 anymore. HK sued them and as of January 31, 2010, they can't be sold in the US anymore. Though there is a new model coming out called the GSG-522. If it's actually imported will be another story.

I have to agree on the Ruger 10/22. I had one and I loved it. Too bad it was stolen. ( It's a good, inexpensive, reliable rifle and there are quite a few nice after-market stocks for it.

 

[superjedi]

Of course, there's the good ol' AR-7.

It's now manufactured by Henry Arms, sold under the name "Henry Survival" I believe. The basis for several Star Wars blasters.
That's mine in the pic above. I have since painted it in a camo pattern and added a scope.

 

[Boba Debt]

Why not go with a 45 caliber carbine

I totally forgot I had one in the basement until you posted that shot. Time to start looking.

Beretta U22 Neos with Carbine Kit:

I'm a fan of the Walther G22 for a "sci-fi looking" rifle, and have considered getting one for this exact reason. The version below has the laser option (located below the barrel) and the scope option added.
