A 10/22, like the Ruger 22 Auto is one of those guns that every gun owner should have. Good show!

Congrats!
Be careful, the 10/22 enjoys aftermarket support galore. There is so much that can be done to one.

Great rifle and easily customized. You're doomed.

Got my first one back in 1968. . .great gun! With the exception of the Ruger Number 1, it's the only Ruger I would advise anybody to purchase. Amazing how a company can manage to produce two of the greatest guns ever manufactured and fail on everything else.

The TI25 from Tactical Inovations is the best 25 round magazine for the 10/22. You'll never have to buy another one once you get a TI25 from Tactical Inovations.
The Ruger BX25 is a good magazine, but it's not the best.

What a shame, you've really limited yourself because Ruger has made and continues to make a number of very good models of firearms other than the Number 1 and the 10/22 that I would highly recommend.
Ruger makes its own 25 rd mags that are very good, also the hot lips steel lips have be very good. They also make a Charger, which is essentially a 10/22 with a cut down barrel and stock, which makes it officially a pistol. It has a bi-pod and scope mounts, no iron sights and its a hoot!

Stick with Ruger magazines. They come in 10, 15, 25 and 25x2(2mags end to end as 1 unit. They work in their bolt actions too. And they are not picky on type of ammo. Folding stocks, etc. tons of gear for them.. They are fun and handy.

Wow----must have had a bad experience somewhere along the line???
Congrats on your new 10-22! After ignoring the 10-22 for many years I started getting interested in them last year. They will shoot very well with good ammo. The thing that seems to be the best single upgrade is to install a Volquartsen target hammer assembly. It is a drop in part and can be had from Brownells for around $40. It will greatly improve your trigger pull. We have been having a blast with the 10-22s but be warned, we now have five.
If you want to have a really good time with your 10-22 find an Appleseed shoot near you. If you can shoot Rifleman on that course you will be shooting well. Here is their website:

I thought it was a requirement to own a 10/22.
Congratulations! I love my 10/22. In fact I'm taking it to the range later this morning. My mods include:
- Tech Sights (an absolute must IMO before anything else).
- Upgraded trigger work by Swampfox
- Extended mag release lever
- M1 Carbine stock with sling

Nice buy! Check out Brimstone Gunsmithing if you want the trigger worked. I have their intermediate trigger job on my 10/22 and Charger, and have been very pleased with the results. Many go with the basic trigger job and I haven't heard any complaints.
