I had one for a bit - a 22/20. Know that this is not the calibre combo you are looking for but some general observations...

Got it used with a known light primer strike issue

After tearing it down and reassembling probably 30 times I sorted the primer strike issue.

It also had issues with the ejector getting struck and not ejecting properly.

Barrel selector decided to split in half and replaced that as well

Rear sight was cheap and front sight was a horrible block affair. Shooting gophers was a pain and I juts went back to the irons on my 10/22

All in all I love the concept but couldn't get over the cheapness of these guns, their finicky nature, and poor sights.

Note that the 22 barrel will not fit standard claw mounts.
