Ruger Hits a Grand Slam
I've owned many Ruger 10/22's for over 20 years and have tried every aftermarket magazine from Eaton Supply, Ramline, Blackdog Machine, you name it. Finally Ruger made their own 25 Round Magazine and knocked it out of the park with their first swing. Fantastic!!
rifle magazines
finally a factory hi-cap magazine for the 10-22, works well, no problems and easy to clean. Brownell's is a great company too..
Best bang for your 10-22 magazine buck
I was a little leery about these mags considering the the horrendous headaches I've had with hi-cap mags from other makers. I have owned seven 10-22s over the years and still have four of them. The aftermarket mags are simply junk. They have not run reliably in any 10-22 I've ever had. I was keeping my fingers crossed that Ruger got this right. Long story short... I no longer own any aftermarket mags. Now it's all Ruger standard 10 rounders, BX-25s and BX-25x2s. I still get the occasional jam, but 1 every few hundred is far better than at least one in every mag. These are also serviceable. A couple of screws and you can clean em and lube em. I've taken apart a few aftermarket mags to clean em. If you do something like that, be prepared to keep super glue or two part epoxy on hand for reassembly. The BX-25... throw the screw back in and you're back in business. Way to go Ruger!
Best Mag
I have 2 of these mags and shot well over 1,000 rounds in each, and have not had one problem with them feeding. They feel solid, look great and above all, have been rock solid dependable. Have ordered 2 more just because they are a great mag.
No misfeeds yet
Very pleased with the BX-25. No misfeeds yet. Family has three Ruger 10/22s. Fun to plink with. I also use 10 round magazines. I have had a couple of misfeeds with one of them. I would recommend the factory versions over others even though they are more pricy.
Great magazine
At first I had constant jamming from these mags, then found out it was the Butler Creek mag loader causing the problem. The mag loader was bending the cartridges causing them to not feed at all. Loading these mags by hand is a little bit slower but they run just fine, no jams at all for me. I have three of them now.
ruger bx 25 mags
bought these mags on a sat morning went to desert fired 2 bricks only had 2 failure to feed. it was near the end of the secound brick of ammo. never had a mag work this well before. i even bought the high priced tactical inovation mag that you can adjust each corner of the mag body, but the bx25 just feeds and feeds. i know what kind i will buy. The only shame is i have to leave them at my friends house in Az. because they are not Ca. legal.....(that sucks)HIGHLY RECOMEND THESE TO ANYONE THAT HAS A RUGER 10/22
FINALLY A GOOD MAG!!!!
I Built my 10/22 a few years back and have shot probably 8000 rounds through it. In that time I have purchased 5 different mags to hopefully help the intermitent chambering issues. After about 1500 rounds the gun was having issues feeding. Bought a new mag, no change. The only ones that would work were the 10 round factory mags. I tried everything, new springs, polish moving parts, extractors to no avail. Bought this clip and it fired 100 rounds with 1 failure to feed!!! thats awesome out of a 22. Ill be ordering some more soon! If your having feeding problems try this!!!
This one does it!
For volume shooters this is a vast improvement. The Ruger BX-25 is tough, well built and can be serviced. I wade into ground squirrel country with 11 mags 5 are Rugers and 6 Butler Creek steel lips. I have been shooting Rem. Gold Tips, with high volume I get excessive stove piping. Now with the Ruger mag. most of that has gone away. I would say, with extensive use all mags will finally start to gum up and fail to function but with the Ruger you can easily service the interior and get back to work. I would lastly say there is an easy way to service ALL makes of magazines. Cut the top off of a plastic water bottle, pour in paint thinner slosh the mag around top and bottom. Replace the thinner with isopropal alcohol do the same slosh, air dry or blow dry with air hose and spray Rem Dry Lub. Do not do this with strong solvents or you will melt the glue. Now go back to work! Remember: be ecology minded, shoot and release!
Ruger quality
Tried aftermarket mags for the 10/22 and none feeds as consistently as the genuine deal.
