Smith & Wesson | M&P15-22 Sport | 22 LR | 16.5″ | MFG#12723

The Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Sport is a rimfire modern sporting rifle built for recreational shooting and low-cost training. This optics-ready variant ships with a factory-mounted MP-100 red/green dot to provide fast target acquisition out of the box. For users wanting an aftermarket optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, a compact red-dot such as the Vortex StrikeFire II or a 1-4x low-power variable optic will provide similar rapid sighting capability and broad compatibility with the rifle’s flat-top rail. Applications include smallbore range training and casual target/plinking sessions.
