22 magnum

[Winchester1973]

Don’t the 10/22 mags have a habit of blowing the ass end out of the reciever?

Never heard that, I believe you are thinking of the 17HMR, I know they had problems with those, not the 22 magnum. It was the Remington 597 that blows the mags out. Here is the article

Rossi RS22M semi auto.
Great rifles, the ones in walnut are very nice.

Bought a used ruger american to try out the cal with. I read on other rimrire forums that the American in 22 mag was typically very accurate, competing with cz, while there 22lr do not. Added a yodave trigger spring. The gun shoots awesome. 5 shou
t groups at 50 average .500 to .625 with 3 of 4 different types of ammo tried. The mag is awesome. Just wish they could have figured out how to make it hold 10 like the 22lr version.

The only negatives I can come up with is not the synthetic stock isnt the most solid thing out there, and making any stock without a rubber butt pad so the gun can grip the floor when sat in a corner should be a criminal offense.

You can get 15 round mags for the Rugers.

I know most here like their rifles in 22mag, but I never felt the need for one
But in a Heritage Roughrider 6.5" the round makes for some snappy shooting, power over the 22lr is very noticable, a good trapper carry

I got the Rossi RB22M as well last year . Got a bushnell 3-9x40 DZ22 scope to go with it. accurate , nice trigger , weighs little over 4lbs , easy to carry all day.

Interesting we have the same setup. I'm glad you like yours too.

I borescoped mine, it looks almost like micro-groove rifling. It has at least 10 grooves. Not the highest quality finish and doesn't look hammer forged, but better than I expected.

I thought that’s why they discontinued them. Hmmm
