The .22 LR rifle serves as everything from a new shooter’s first firearm to a competition gun to small-game hunting. Turkish manufacturer Derya has entered this market with its TM22 family of firearms that started with semi-automatic models before expanding into manually-operated versions. Derya continues that expansion with two new models for 2026, an update of the original semi-auto TM22 and a new pump-action version.
The TM22 Timekeeper is the latest version of Derya’s popular semi-automatic .22 LR, which the company has marketed in a variety of forms from a tactical trainer to a large-format handgun. The Timekeeper is not a “tacticool” rimfire, but an enhanced version of Derya’s conventional TM22 Standard.
Though its stock has similar lines to the Standard model, the Timekeeper adds toolless adjustability for the length-of-pull and cheekpiece height. The skeletonized stock has both quick-detachable swivel studs and sockets for attaching slings and M-Lok slots in the fore-end for attaching accessories. Stock color options include black, gray, flat dark-earth and olive-drab green. Metal parts are given a black anodized finish.
A Picatinny optics rail extends along the Timekeepers’s receiver. Its upgraded iron sight package includes a fully-adjustable open rear sight paired with a front post protected by a hood. Front and rear sights have contrasting color fiber-optic inserts. Its 18-inch barrel has its barrel threaded 1/2x28 TPI for attaching suppressors.
Feeding from the standard TM22 magazines that come in 10, 15 and 25-round capacities, two 10-round magazines are included with each rifle. Weighing 4.85 pounds, the TM22 Timekeeper has an MSRP of $249.
Pump-action rifles were once a popular form of rimfire firearm in the U.S. After introducing a quintessentially American lever-action version of the TM22, the TM22 Pump is Derya’s take on this other classic operating system.
Fed from the same TM22 magazines as the rest of the series, the TM22 Pump has an 18-inch barrel with its muzzle threaded 1/2x28 TPI. Sights are a front post with a fiber optic insert with an open rear sight mounted on the receiver’s Picatinny optics rail. The TM22 Pump’s furniture is made of polymer, steel parts are given a parkerized finish, and aluminum parts are anodized. The TM22 Pump weighs 4.85 pounds and has an MSRP of $429.
