So, what alternative .22LR auto ?

WEll, when it comes to a tacticool rifle, it's looking like a choice between the Sig and the Pietta, maybe backed up with a Browning take down and a CZ 452

and we forgot to include the Anschutz 520 and Walther G22...

Unless you particularly like the look or the half-pistol-grip on the Pietta, I'd go with the SIG. You can get drum magazines for it just like the PPS-50, but it's much easier to add accessories. However, the folding stock is a piece of junk (it wiggles a little in the open position, only locks in the closed position when fully extended, and when you open it, the female latch part gets ripped out of the receiver ) so you'll may well want to get an AR stock adapter which is made of aluminium instead of plastic (like the SIG folding part) and includes a new latch button giving more solid lock up in the open position. You can then fit an AR stock of your choice. You lose the ability to lock it in the folded position (though you can still fold it for storage and you could just put a rubber band round it if you wanted to shoot it like a pistol without it flapping around) but since that feature doesn't work properly on the factory stock the added rigidity in the open position is worth it IMO.

Badger,

Where are you? - if you are not a million miles away you are more than welcome to some hands on time with my Sig on my ground.

This reminds me, I read an article not so long ago about someone who was taking a 10/22 action, trigger and barrel and fitting them into airsoft bodies, he was doing a good job as well and was ending up with all sorts of interesting replica firearms with the 10/22 inside. He pointed out that the quality of some of the airsoft things was every bit as good as the original and they were faithful reproductions at a very good price. He was even selling the bits he did not need on eBlag.

That could make for some interesting designs!

This is getting very exciting - and bewildering - for us small brained types. If the Pietta is as accurate as many say then that is a very good point in its favour. I like the look of it too. I'm not so sure about the looks of the SIg but it seems very reliable: the two remain firmly on the list ! A 10/22 in wolf's clothing definitely has possibilities too...

I have seen an MG 42 kit for a 10/22 now that would be interesting
