Sounds like you sir have stumbled upon what many regard as the finest AR style .22 on the market. There is a huge following for the 15-22 and it is extremely reliable. It's a ton of fun and can be fitted with most any AR accessory. It functions and acts like an AR as well and makes a nice trainer for the platform. Most other competitors to the 15-22 "look" like an AR but don't function like one (last round bolt hold back). That said, it does have it's differences in size and you can't slap an AR upper on it.

Mags are hard to find right now and go for a hefty premium but that should work itself out over time.

Congrats on a great fine! There are a few people I know that stalk their local Walmarts every morning before work hoping one showed up in the shipment.
