Description
There aren't many rimfire rifles that turn heads at the range, but the KRISS Vector CRB G2 in .22 LR is one of them. KRISS took the ergonomics and futuristic lines of their centerfire Vector carbine and built a dedicated rimfire around them, running a simple direct blowback action that's right at home with the .22 LR cartridge. The result is a rifle that looks and handles like the big-bore Vectors while feeding on ammo that costs pennies a round. This version ships with a 30 round magazine, so you're not stopping to reload every couple of minutes either.
What the Vector CRB G2 22 LR Brings to the Table
The 16 inch barrel wears a durable Black Nitride finish and comes threaded 1/2×28, so muzzle devices and rimfire suppressors bolt right on. Up front you get a free-floating M-LOK handguard for lights, hand stops, or a bipod, and the full-length top rail carries a set of flip-up front and rear sights that adjust to your load. Controls follow the Vector playbook: ambidextrous safety, last round bolt hold open, and a two-stage trigger with a quick reset that rewards fast follow-up shots. The six-position collapsible stock adjusts from roughly 34.5 to 37.75 inches overall, so it fits smaller-framed folks and long-armed adults alike.
More Than Just a Range Toy
If you already own a 9mm or .45 Vector, this rifle earns its keep as a low-cost trainer. The controls and handling mirror the centerfire guns, so every magazine you burn through builds muscle memory that transfers straight over. No big-bore Vector in the safe? No problem. It stands on its own for rimfire competition, small game hunting, and teaching new marksmen on a platform they'll genuinely want to pick up.
Why This KRISS Vector 22 Belongs in Your Rotation
Between the modular handguard, threaded muzzle, adjustable irons, and that 30 round capacity, the Vector CRB G2 covers a lot of ground for a rimfire. It's the rare .22 that's just as fun to look at as it is to run, and it does the practical stuff well too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vector CRB G2 22 LR the same action as the centerfire Vector?
No, and that's by design. The centerfire Vectors use the Super V system that redirects bolt energy downward, but with .22 LR there's so little recoil that KRISS went with a simple direct blowback action instead. The outside look, controls, and handling still mirror the centerfire guns, which is what makes it such a good trainer.
Can I put a suppressor on the KRISS Vector 22 CRB?
Yes. The 16 inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard pitch for most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. The free-float M-LOK handguard also means adding a can won't mess with your barrel harmonics.
Does this rifle come with an optic?
No optic is included, but it does come with adjustable flip-up front and rear iron sights, so it's ready to shoot out of the box. The full-length Picatinny top rail gives you plenty of room to mount a red dot or scope whenever you're ready to upgrade.
Is the Vector CRB G2 22 LR reliable with bulk ammo?
Reviewers have found the Vector 22 to run well overall, which says a lot given how picky rimfire semi-autos can be. Like any blowback .22, it tends to favor quality high-velocity ammo, so if you hit occasional hiccups with the cheapest bulk stuff, stepping up to a hotter round usually sorts it out. Keeping the action clean goes a long way too.
