10/22 Mags?

[eldirector]

So, I picked up my first Ruger 10/22 last weekend. Has the 10-round factory mag with it. Who makes QUALITY magazines for these? Thought I'd get some additional 10-round rotary mags, and maybe some higher capacity ones as well.

I have several of the Butler Creek Steel Lips 25 rounders. I've never had a problem with them.

All I run are factory Ruger rotary. Never an issue. You can find them on sale occasionally.

Ruger for both 10 and 25 rds mags.

I grabbed 3 Ruger brand 10 rounders on ebay for 30 bucks.

As stated. Ruger mags are the way to go.

Looks like Ruger makes some clear ones, or black. The clear looks handy. Any reason for or against either type?

I use Butler creek steel lip and non-steel lip 25 rounders. They are just as reliable as my Ruger BX-25 mags. Ruger and Butler Creek are the only mags I have lots of experience with. They are both GTG for me since 1995.

The clear ones have a history of being oversized and not dropping freely from the rifle.

Butler Creek or Ruger.
I won't buy anything else.

I've tried the 10, 15, 25, and 50 rounders (the 50s's are a pair of 25's molded together but one 25 section is mounted upside down from the other). All work very well. I'd stay away from any aftermarket mags with the 10/22 but that's just me.

Watch what you buy, Ruger does make 1 round and 5 round for the 10/22. I have not seen any in stores but there is always a first time.

IMO, the best magazines that I'm aware of.

In another thread someone mentioned that Ruger doesn't actual make the BX-25 mags, but they are farmed out to another company and they can be hit or miss.

I had always heard they were the best option for a larger cap 10/22 mag, but I personally don't have much experience with them. I generally just use the standard 10 rd box mag.

Well.... thanks to INGO, a member is hooking me up with some gently used Ruger and and Butler Creek 25-round mags.

This is my first magazine fed long gun. Everything else is tube fed or single-shot. Makes me want to have a bunch of spares for some reason.... Now I'll start watching for some 10-round rotary mags.

CDNN has Butler Creek 25 rounders for 4.99 if you're still looking for any.

Rugers 25 rounds are nice. I have about a dozen of them, no problems.

 

[scsbronco]

Stick with the Factory mags for reliability. IMO the aftermarket mags dont fit well and cause feeding problems.

Save yourself the trouble and buy Ruger factory mags. It is worth it, a lot of aftermarket mags can be sloppy, poor feeding and so on.
