The Kriss Defiance K22C is a .22 LR modern sporting rifle chambered for target shooting, plinking, and training. It comes in Flat Dark Earth with a 16.5-inch barrel, six-position adjustable grip, and flip-up front/rear sights. At 10.44 lbs with accessories, it's on the heavier side for a rimfire, but that weight helps keep muzzle rise down during rapid fire.

  The six-position grip lets shooters of different sizes dial in their fit, and 15-round capacity keeps range sessions moving without constant reloads. The FDE finish resists corrosion and holds up to regular handling. Flip sights are simple and durable for a rifle used primarily at the range or in training drills.

Owners of the Kriss Defiance K22C generally like it as a .22 LR training rifle. The adjustable grip gets consistent praise for fit, and accuracy for a rimfire at this price range is solid - most users report tight groups at typical range distances. The FDE finish looks good and holds up well.

The .22 LR chambering keeps ammo costs reasonable for regular practice, which is probably the main reason people buy it. On the critical side, some users have hit feeding issues with certain ammunition brands - higher-velocity or bulk-pack rounds seem to cause more problems than quality standard-velocity loads. A few reviewers also note it falls short in more demanding competitive scenarios, where its weight and .22 LR limitations show.

Aftermarket accessories exist but the selection is narrower than for AR-platform rifles, which frustrates some owners looking to customize heavily. That said, for its intended role as a training platform or casual range gun, the K22C delivers what it promises.
