Love the rifle but my gsg 110 round mag doesn't fit. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or got a bad mag.

You must have just missed this from my post #6

4. The magwell is very tight. The stock 10rd Ruger mag and ultra evil Ruger BX-25 will fit but after market mags like Butler Creek will not. One could open up the well or sand down the mags, but what a PITA.

Once you decide which way you go with this issue, please let us know how the drum runs for you. Really want to know how hi caps run in the American after they fit. I watched a guy get nothing but jams with one in a 10/22 this weekend.

I returned the mag yesterday
 
6. The bolt release has been reported to stick alowing the bolt to travel too fat back and possibly remove from the reciever on rearward stroke.
Doesn't it have a Bolt Lock buttom to release it? Or is that faulty and you can just pull it out on the backward motion?

Liking the It can use the 10/22 mags =)

I can't find the youtube video that showed it again. In the vid the guy showed how the bolt release (button) would fail to stop the bolt from traveling out of the receiver on the rearward stroke of the bolt. It was not happening every time, but how often would that have to happen to pi$$ you off? Hoping it is an isolated incident.

I hear ya... maybe a lemon in the group... alot of reviews seem to be pretty good so far some had it for about 6months, no issues. I think I'm gonna grab one to try ahahaha
 
I would give the savage mkII a good look before you jump at the ruger. If im not mistaken they are also made in lakefield ontario. From what I here they are great little tack drivers

ive got both.
id go with the ruger if you already have a 10/22
you can share mags and the ruger is $100-200 less depending on the model of the MKII.
but shoot the same out to 100/150
 
Well i got mine the other day and ive since put 500 rounds through it. So far i think its a great gun for the money.
The Good: good trigger
Quick 60 degree bolt throw
100% reliable
Good sights
Changeable cheek peice
Good solid plastic stock
Accurate with everything i tried. 5 or so kinds of ammo.
Points very well

The not so good: slipery but plate
Tight magwell. The clear bx-1 i baugh with it didnt fit and took 20 min of fiting for it to drop free.
Rough machining. mind you it doesn't affect performence and it seems was done to lower cost.
The 3/8 dovetail is a little out of spec.

Conclusion: its a very well engineered gun definitely worth a look and its asking price.

Agreed, and the Savage Mk 2 G with the wood stock is only about $245. Its a Canadian made bargain.

I found the butt plate was slippery too. I just took a piece of sticky one side foam that I use to seal my canopy to my truck, trimmed it and stuck it too the butt. Now it will stay put on my shoulder.
