Discover the KRISS Vector 22 CRB: The Ultimate .22LR Training and Sport Rifle

Are you searching for a high-performance, cost-effective, and versatile rimfire rifle that mirrors the feel and function of its centerfire counterparts? Look no further than the KRISS Vector 22 Gen II CRB. Engineered by KRISS USA, this dedicated semi-automatic sporting rifle chambered in .22 LR offers an unparalleled training experience, making it an ideal choice for new shooters, seasoned enthusiasts, and anyone looking to hone their skills without the expense or recoil of larger calibers. Available from reputable retailers like DEGuns, this firearm is designed to meet a wide array of needs, from competitive shooting and tactical training to recreational plinking and small game hunting.

The KRISS Vector 22 CRB stands out in the crowded rimfire market due to its iconic aesthetics and ergonomic design, faithfully replicating the acclaimed KRISS Vector carbine. This 1:1 ratio in receivers and controls means that every interaction, from magazine changes to safety manipulation, translates directly to the experience of operating a centerfire Vector. This fidelity makes the Vector 22 an invaluable tool for developing muscle memory and proficiency, establishing it as the premier training solution for individuals seeking to master the Vector platform or simply improve their overall shooting aptitude.

Unrivaled Versatility and Performance in .22 LR

The core philosophy behind the Vector 22 is to deliver precision, performance, and exceptional value. While chambered in the affordable and readily available .22 Long Rifle cartridge, it sacrifices nothing in terms of build quality or operational capability. This rifle is not merely a scaled-down toy; it’s a meticulously engineered firearm built for serious application. Whether your interest lies in honing marksmanship, engaging in dynamic rimfire competitions, or enjoying extended plinking sessions at the range, the Vector 22 CRB provides the reliability and accuracy you demand.

For those considering a rifle for entry into competitive shooting, the Vector 22 CRB offers a significant advantage. Its familiar ergonomics and robust construction allow shooters to practice complex drills and scenarios without the fatigue or cost associated with centerfire ammunition. This translates to more trigger time, which is crucial for skill development and achieving top performance in various shooting disciplines.

Modular Front End: Adaptability at Your Fingertips

One of the standout features of the KRISS Vector 22 CRB is its highly modular front end. The 16-inch barrel is precision-threaded with a 1/2″ x 28 pattern, making it instantly ready for the addition of suppressors or other muzzle devices. This feature is particularly appealing for shooters interested in noise reduction for training, pest control, or simply a more comfortable shooting experience. The ability to easily attach a suppressor enhances its utility for quiet backyard plinking (where legal) or focused training sessions.

Encasing the barrel is a robust aluminum M-LOK handguard, designed for modern modularity. M-LOK is a widely adopted system that provides a lightweight yet secure method for attaching accessories. With mounting points strategically placed at every 45-degree interval, users have immense flexibility to customize their rifle. This allows for the easy integration of lights, lasers, foregrips, bipods, and other tactical or practical enhancements. This level of customization ensures that the Vector 22 CRB can be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of any shooter, transforming it from a basic training rifle into a highly specialized tool for various applications.

The 1:1 Ratio: The Ultimate Training Advantage

A hallmark of the KRISS Vector 22 CRB is its identical feel and function to its centerfire siblings. The receivers, controls, and overall dimensions are painstakingly replicated, ensuring that the transition between the .22LR model and a 9mm or .45 ACP Vector is seamless. This 1:1 ratio is a game-changer for effective and economical training.

•  Cost-Effective Practice: The primary benefit is the dramatic reduction in training costs. .22LR ammunition is significantly more affordable than centerfire cartridges, allowing for higher volume practice sessions without breaking the bank. This means more rounds downrange, leading to faster skill acquisition and retention.
•  Reduced Recoil: The minimal recoil of the .22LR cartridge makes the Vector 22 CRB an ideal platform for introducing new shooters, especially younger operators, to the world of firearms. It allows them to focus on fundamental shooting skills—sight alignment, trigger control, and breath discipline—without the intimidation or flinching often associated with heavier recoiling firearms.
•  Skill Transferability: For experienced shooters, the identical controls mean that drills performed with the Vector 22 CRB directly translate to proficiency with a centerfire Vector. This includes magazine changes, safety manipulation, charging handle operation, and sight picture acquisition. It’s an invaluable tool for warm-ups, skill maintenance, and tactical scenario practice.
•  Realistic Handling: The weight and balance of the Vector 22 CRB closely mimic its larger caliber counterparts, providing a truly realistic handling experience. This attention to detail ensures that training sessions are as effective as possible, preparing the shooter for real-world scenarios or higher-caliber shooting.

Ambidextrous Safety and Ergonomic Design

User comfort and operational efficiency are paramount in the design of the KRISS Vector 22 CRB. The rifle features an ambidextrous safety lever, strategically placed on both sides of the receiver. This thoughtful design ensures that the firearm can be safely and effectively operated by both left-handed and right-handed shooters without any compromises. This inclusivity is a significant advantage, particularly in training environments where multiple users with varying dominant hands might be present.

The Flat Dark Earth (FDE) polymer grip provides a secure and comfortable hold, contributing to better firearm control and reduced shooter fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The grip's ergonomic contouring is designed to fit a wide range of hand sizes, promoting consistent grip placement and enhanced accuracy.

Stability is the Key to Consistency: Adjustable Stock Options

Achieving consistent accuracy is heavily dependent on a stable shooting platform. The KRISS Vector 22 CRB addresses this with a highly versatile 6-position adjustable stock. This feature allows the user to precisely dial in their preferred length of pull, ensuring optimal comfort and a consistent cheek weld, which are critical for stable aiming and recoil management (even with minimal recoil). Whether you're a taller shooter, a shorter individual, or wearing bulky gear, the stock can be quickly adjusted to suit your needs, providing a perfect fit for any operator.

Furthermore, the Vector 22 receiver is designed to be compatible with any stock designed for the AR-15 platform. This opens up a world of customization possibilities, allowing users to select from a vast aftermarket of AR-15 stocks to further personalize their rifle. This level of compatibility ensures that shooters can find the perfect stock to enhance their shooting experience, whether for comfort, aesthetics, or specific tactical requirements.

Key Features and Construction

The KRISS Vector 22 CRB is built with a commitment to quality and durability. The receiver is constructed from lightweight yet robust aluminum, providing a solid foundation for the firearm's components. The Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish applied to the receiver offers exceptional protection against abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure, ensuring the rifle maintains its appearance and integrity even in harsh environments. The 16-inch chrome moly barrel, finished in black, contributes to the rifle's overall durability and accuracy. With a 1:16" twist rate, it is optimized for the stability of common .22LR projectiles, contributing to its impressive accuracy.

Additional features that enhance the user experience include:

•  Last Round Bolt Lock: This essential feature holds the bolt open after the last round is fired, providing immediate feedback to the shooter that the magazine is empty. This speeds up reloads and allows for quick visual verification of an unloaded firearm for safety.
•  Low Profile Flip Sights: The rifle comes equipped with durable, low-profile flip-up front and rear sights. These sights provide a reliable aiming solution straight out of the box and can be folded down to accommodate optics such as red dot sights or scopes, offering maximum flexibility for sight preferences.
•  Glock Compatible Magazine Type: The use of Glock-compatible magazines for the Vector 22 simplifies magazine acquisition for those already in the Glock ecosystem. With a standard capacity of 10+1 rounds, it complies with various jurisdictional requirements while providing ample ammunition for most applications.
•  Direct Blowback Operating System: This simple yet reliable operating system ensures consistent cycling of .22LR ammunition, contributing to the rifle's overall dependability and ease of maintenance.
