10-22 Magnum
 

I was looking at one of these the other day. The Ruger 10-22 Magnum. Has anyone owned one of these and how did the shoot and function?

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

I was looking at one also James last summer.I not sure but believe their not as good as the 10/20, as far as cycling rounds.you might want to look at the ruger lever 22 mag.good luck

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

I had one of the new style ones with dual extracters and it worked great. I never had any problems with it at all and accuracy was around 1.5" for 5 shots at 100 yards. I used it for night predator calling when I lived in michigan. I shot lots of fox and a few coyotes with it and an untold number of feral cats. It was a great little rifle.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

Good reliable gun.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

Don't know about the Ruger,But seems like a long time ago somebody said that the .22 mag was pretty much inherently inaccurate.I guess that's the reason I never bought one.I would like to have a good dead eye dick 22. mag bolt .

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

I have never heard a complaint about their accuracy as a cartridge. I had a 640 K Chuckster that was a tack driver. That was a mossberg Bolt gun. My father in law bought it from me and now one of his kids has it.

Thanks for the reply's

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

I really like mine...it is accurate and a lot of fun to shoot. Build up is easy.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

James B sez: "I had a 640 K Chuckster that was a tack driver. That was a mossberg Bolt gun."

I too havea 640 "Chuckster" in .22 mag. it is a model KA though. Long barrel. Long story behind how I got it. But I refinished the stock in natural linseed oil.

It sure is pretty.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

I have wanted one for a few years now as well. Randy Anderson has one all tricked out in his Verminator video I believe. Ever since I saw that gun with the scope mounted camera I have thought about them. Monday I was in town and at the local gunshop and they had 2 of 'em on the rack.......Very Very Tempting.....

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

Do you go into to SoDak to look at guns? What gun shops are in your area? I was in to So Dak last week and saw the 22 Mags. Thats what got me thinking about them again.:D

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

It was at Sodak LOL. I only live 50 miles from aberdeen so thats usually where I go to look. If you go to Watertown there are a few there but nothing too great, Boones, Dakota Outdoors, and on Hwy 81 south of Watertown about 11 miles there is Kones Korner. The last 2 guns I bought I got from Garys Gunshop in Sioux Falls.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

I am 100 miles North of Aberdeen. I get into to Gary's quite often as well. I am in Sioux Falls quite a bit. I always hit Sportsmans Warehouse to check on guns and knives. Ibought a Marlin 44 Mag at Sodak last week. I might stop there tomorow morning on my way to Wall. He has a BPS with a 26 inch barrel there that I really like. It has some wear on it but the price is right.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

Ya old Scott at Sodak is pretty easy to deal with. I lived in Sioux Falls for 3 months last winter and I was shooting handgun at Garys 3 or 4 nites a week, and I also spent alotta money at the Warehouse. They always had good deals on stuff there, and they will negotiate pretty well if the right guy is working.

We'll hafta meet up at Sodak sometime and BS.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

Might see you on the road tomorrow. I will be on my way to the Stock show in Rapid. You gonna be there?

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

Hey james one thing that is REALLY interesting are the bull barrel conversion kits for the 10/22mag into a 17HMR. I've been temped more than once by that idea.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

There are a lot of posibilities with the Ruger for Sure.

Rammer. I was in Rapid city Saturday but didn't get to the stock show. I had to load up a load of stuff at my daughters place in Wall and head back to Jamestown so the wife could work today. Monday. I stopped at Dakota Mart in Pierre though. They had the exact BPS shot gun that I was looking for with the 24 inch field barrel. It was used but in mint condition with an extra Turkey choke and Fiber optic sight. They wanted 299.00 for it and I grabbed it quick. I had the same gun several years back and sold it for some dumb reason. I have tried several shotguns since but none ever feld as good as that one. This one is home for good.:DSodak sold the one they had before I got back there.

Send me a PM sometime when you are heading into Aberdeen and if I am free I could run down also. I have to go to Sioux Falls tomorrow but at least on the way down it will be before they open at Sodak.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

Man I was at Dakotamart Friday afternoon on our way thru, and I didn't see the BPS with the 24" barrel:( I've wanted one of those for a long while.

The used BPS at Sodak very well could have been one of mine. I have had 8 of them over the years, always wanted a 24" barrelled one to keep for good. If you run across another one let me know.

I was too busy at Dakotamart drooling over the Brunton binos. They had a set of the Epoc series with the doublers for $800. I wanted to swipe my credit card soo bad, but managed to talk myself out of it!

Ya I will let ya know when I run to aberdeen again, gotta go visit Flatland archery and Sodak. I need a decapping rod assembly for my RCBS 243 die. Mine is all bent up.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

I bought one when they first came out and paid a premium, but I was not impressed and sold it. The trigger on mine was terrible, but accuracy was fine.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

James, I have the 10-22 mag and have had it for 3 hunting seasons. They need a little breaking-in, for the first 300-400 rounds you need to clean the chamber every 50 or so rounds, nothing elaborate just a brush and a twist or two. Also if you will retension the factory magazine , reliability will go way up. Bottom line------ good reliable gun and you will be pleased!!!


MINE:

3/4" @ 50 yards 2 " @ 100 yards with 5 moa red-dot sight, a good scope would shrink this.

RE: 10-22 Magnum
 

THanks Mag shooter. I sure liked the 22 Mag in the old Mossberg Bolt.

Rammer, the 24 inch BPS was in that rack to the right of the main counter. I will keep my eye out for another. I shot a lot of Turkek with my last one.
