I used to be ardently opposed to anything tacticool, especially in .22's. Over the years I've softened considerably and even though about getting an AR styled .22 last year but couldn't bring my self to spend the extra coin for only "the look". BUT....... I haven't ever had a problem spending more money on a nicer sporter look.
Another example of my preference would be the Mini-14 vs. AR. It appears that Ruger improved the Mini a few years ago. Accuracy wise is it on par with the average AR? I honestly don't know but I'm guessing it isn't quite there. Being said for the same money out of my pocket I'd take a 1.5 MOA Mini Ranch over a 1 MOA AR. No the Mini doesn't have the aftermarket support of the AR and yes it's mags are less available and more expensive (not counting the craziness of the last couple months) but still on the looks, handling and feel level I prefer the Mini.
Guess you could say I'm not in the tactical camp.
