Ruger 10/22

I just wanted to sing praises of the 10/22. I took it out to shoot for the first time today. I shot roughly 500 rounds through it with no problems whatsoever.

Thank you Ruger for an excellent product!

Bought mine in 1967 for $69.00, it has never failed me and has been a lot of fun.

Oh man my 10/22 has had tens of thousands of rounds put threw it. I love that thing, perfect plinking/small game gun. Tons of accessories for it too. My friend makes fun of me cause the scope on my 10/22 cost 3 times what the gun did, but shooting dimes at 50yards is loads of fun, as is poppin varmints at 100yards. First thing I would say to do to it is replace that bolt lock so it doesnt lock back when the magazine is empty, it actually makes a big difference when swappin mags on it.

Wish I had a $1.00 for every one made!
Bet every young hunter had one since the late 60's.

What are you running for ammo? Mine jams constantly.

Many brands of .22 have a coating to protect the brass. Take a box of shells and place them in a jar, pour some lighter fluid over them, swirl around, strain out rounds, lay them out to dry it won't take long. the same fluid can clean several boxes. I clean as many as I want to shoot at this range visit. I find there is less fowling. A few FTF's but I have those anyway and fewer FTE's. Works for me and I get to shoot more before I have fowling problems.

I'm 46 now and have had mine since I was 16....never failed me and is the best little rifle I've ever had. A Classic...

Good point, I pour mine out onto a old tshirt and spray them with brake cleaner to remove the residue and when dry lightly mist them with wd40 and load them onto the mag. never had a jam since, but go lightly on wd40.

Love my 10/22.
I inherited it from from my grandfather years ago.
Hard to tell how many rounds have been thru it.
I mainly shoot winchester through it and have never had problems.

Are you using factory mags? The cheap ones can jam, I've never had a problem otherwise, and I've had a 10/22for at least 30 years now.

 

[heelcrazy]

I am using the factory mags.

I was running the Remington Golden Bullets in the green box. Are you still using the factory ten round rotary mags?

 

[philiphb]

Have two. A joy to shoot. Lots, really tons of mods you can do. Check out http://www.rimfirecentral.com .

My 10/22 was my first firearm (a whole 2 years ago), and I still love it and take it to the range whenever I go. I've put several hundred rounds of Remington .22LR ammo through it with only a few misfires, and never had a jam.

 

[JHart]

My 10/22 was my first weapon also. Got it when I turned 12, 41 years ago. I've shot it couple times a month since I got it. Can't even imagine how many rounds I've put through it. Never a jam with any brand of ammo. But, I have always used the factory magazines. Love mine hope my girls give me an heir to pass it along to.

 

[billwot]

Probably the best .22 rifle ever made.

Im using the Federal Bulk ammo in the 525 count box. Got mine for $15.95 at Cabelas. I have a FTE issue at time but never jams. I also rerplaced the barrel myself so who knows about alignment and other little issues.

 

[.45ACPKimber]

Has anyone used Ruger's new 25 round magazines? My friend had alot of issues with his feeding and jamming. I borrowed one and had no issues with it.

 

[Rich_S]

I've only used the factory 10 round mag. I've used golden bullet, federal bulk, and cci and I get FTE's and stove pipes constantly. Maybe mine's a lemon. I may send it back to Ruger but I'll try cleaning the ammo first. That's an interesting angle....
