The Story

Tier-one ergonomics on .22 LR economics.

The ISSC MK22 is a remarkable Austrian-made replica of the FN SCAR — the futuristic rifle famously used by U.S. Special Operations Command. Chambered in .22 LR, it gives you the looks, ergonomics, and feel of a tier-one military rifle at a fraction of the ammunition cost.

SCAR-style ergonomics, ambidextrous controls, and that distinctive futuristic profile — but with .22 recoil and .22 prices. It's become enormously popular for tactical training and recreational shooting alike.

The full-size FN SCAR is in service with U.S. Army Special Forces, Navy SEALs, and Belgian Special Forces. The MK22 lets ordinary shooters experience the SCAR ergonomics that special operators rely on.

Why the SCAR matters.

If you want the look and feel of an elite military rifle but without the recoil and ammo cost of a full-size battle rifle, the MK22 is the answer.

The SCAR's folding stock, adjustable cheek rest, and ambidextrous controls were designed to work with body armour and tactical gear. All of those features are replicated faithfully in the MK22 — so you're not just shooting a .22, you're learning the ergonomics that special operators train with.

From Belgian lab to Austrian replica

The SCAR story.

FN Herstal won the SOCOM contract with a radical new battle rifle. ISSC made its ergonomics available to everyone in .22 LR.

SOCOM issues the challenge

From our shooters

What people say.

The ISSC MK22 is a favourite for first-timers who want the experience of a serious military platform. Here's what our visitors say.

★★★★★

I wanted something tactical but wasn't sure about the recoil. The MK22 was perfect — all the cool factor of a SCAR, completely manageable to shoot. I hit the target every time.

Marta S. · Warsaw
★★★★★

The folding stock, the rails, the ambidextrous controls — it genuinely feels like a serious military rifle. Then you pull the trigger and remember it's .22. Best of both worlds.
