Thanks folks, this is great info. Any of you with a 10/22 have any issues with reliability or feeding issues with the Ruger 25 round mags? How about ammo? Does it prefer one type over another? Sounds like I'll stay away from the Remington ammo.
I love my 10/22. I used it at my first Appleseed a couple weeks ago and it did a great job in the wet and cold conditions. My 2 youngest kids (10 girl, 13 boy) shoot it with ease.
I went with a savage precisely because it DOES NOT have all the available upgrades of a 10-22. I was only looking for a plinker and knew that I would end up with way more than a plinker and tons of money in accessories if I bought the Ruger...
