Derya TM22 Lever .22 LR 20in 10+1 Threaded

About this product

What is the Derya TM22 Lever .22 LR 20in 10+1 Threaded? It's a magazine-fed lever-action rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle that blends traditional handling with modern accessory compatibility, making it a budget-friendly hybrid for shooters who want the classic lever feel without the limitations of a tube magazine. Born from Derya's focus on practical adaptations rather than historical replications, the TM22 represents a clear engineering choice: leverage the .22 LR's low pressure to simplify the action while embracing the Picatinny standard and 1/2"-28 thread pitch that dominate the modern rimfire market.

What is the Derya TM22 used for?

The Derya TM22's primary application is as a low-cost, high-volume plinking rifle, with secondary utility for small-game hunting at ranges under 75 yards. The 20-inch threaded barrel provides a stable sight radius for the included bead front sight while accepting a rimfire sound moderator to keep noise at the range below 120 decibels with standard velocity ammunition. The magazine-fed system is the defining feature here—it eliminates the tedious process of single-loading a tube or working a loading gate, allowing a shooter to run through 500 rounds at a steel plate session in roughly 45 minutes with a handful of 25-round aftermarket magazines.

How does the Derya TM22 compare to the Henry Classic Lever .22?

The Derya TM22 trades the Henry's authentic tube-magazine action and walnut furniture for modern polymer, a Picatinny rail, and magazine-fed speed at nearly half the retail price. Where the Henry Classic Lever .22 (H001) is a faithful, if slower-to-load, homage to a traditional design, the TM22 is a functionalist tool optimized for rapid magazine swaps and optic mounting. The Henry is better for the purist who values the tactile feel of loading a tube and cycling brass-lifter actions; the TM22 is decisively better for the practical shooter who prioritizes round count, accessory mounting, and a lighter 5.3-pound carry weight in the field.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle's unloaded weight is 5.30 pounds (2.40 kg), with an overall length of 38 inches (965 mm) and a 20-inch (508 mm) barrel featuring a 1:16" right-hand twist. The adjustable polymer buttstock uses included 0.5-inch spacers to alter the length of pull from 12.5 inches to a maximum of 14 inches, accommodating most adult shooters between 5'6" and 6'4". For comparison, its compact dimensions make it roughly 4 inches shorter than a traditional .30-30 lever gun like those chambered for centerfire hunting, which is a key factor for transport in a standard 42-inch rifle case.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for the historical reenactor or the collector seeking authentic 19th-century lever-action craftsmanship. The polymer stock, modern safety, and magazine well break sharply from the visual and tactile profile of a Winchester or Marlin. It's also not ideal as a primary suppressor host for those seeking maximum quiet; while the threaded barrel accepts standard .22 LR muzzle devices, the lever action's mechanical cycling is louder than a bolt-action like the Stevens 334, making the action noise itself a factor in total sound signature. Finally, competitors focused solely on match-grade accuracy should look to dedicated bolt-action platforms.

What's in the box?

You receive the rifle, one 10-round polymer magazine, two buttstock spacers, and a basic owner's manual covering disassembly and warranty registration. Derya does not include thread protectors, optic mounts, or a chamber flag, which are reasonable omissions at this price point but mean your first range trip requires sourcing a 1/2"-28 thread protector ($8-15) separately if you're not immediately mounting a muzzle device. The manual's exploded diagram is useful for understanding the simple five-main-component breakdown of the action.

Is the Derya TM22 worth it at $311.99?

At $311.99, the TM22 represents strong value as an introductory or recreational lever-action, undercutting most traditional rimfire lever guns by $150-$300 while offering superior accessory readiness. The direct cost-benefit analysis is clear: you're paying for a functional, reliable action and a threaded barrel, sacrificing historical materials to hit a price point that leaves budget for a quality rimfire optic or a few extra magazines. For a shooter wanting the lever-action experience without the premium for walnut and blued steel, this is one of the most cost-effective entries on the market.
