But I'd just grab a 10/22 mag and be done with it. Good price and a dang fine little carbine.
Aparently Ruger didn't think so, as i do believe they have discontinued it! I heard they have problems...
I bought a Rem 597M several years ago, and it has worked "perfectly" and also it's quite accurate...I use it for "pest control" around my place, and it's been a great gun!
