He checked the computer and said they have some at the Calgary store, filled in a form and said they'd call me when its in. I believe that means it will be the only one they will be getting in. I'd suggest if you would like one, get down there or call them and get them to order one for you too while Calgary still has some.

Save your money and don't buy one. They work too well. Once you have one you will need to have at least 10 mags so you practice how long it takes to fire 250+ rounds. You will spend a fortune on mags and ammo.
Yes to BC steel lips, Ramline, and the stock 10 round clip.
No to TI mags.

Shooter's Ridge 10/22 magazine loaders
Since someone is asking.....
I have a Shooters Ridge 10/22 Magazine Loader since that's all I could find the day I went shopping. Got it at WSS.
here's a link where you can see what they look like

Short answer: don't get one.
Long answer: they do work, but....
1. these units are "snapped" together. On the one I bought, I noticed that one of the snaps wasn't 100% clicked in (hello Murphy's Law), but didn't "fix it". So while out in the field, cranking away on said appliance, the whole thing came apart in my hands. The result was I lost a tiny spring and took the pieces home, shooting day ending with a dead gadget. So 30 minutes of fiddling later (ending with a bit of vice work), I had it properly snapped together with a pen spring replacing the lost one.
2. It takes too much force to insert/remove a magazine from this thing. There is a way you can hold it that makes this part bearable. I have a machine design background, and can say without doubt that this thing was rushed to market without proper prototyping/debugging (probably a budget/schedule thing). It would have been an easy correction to the design to make the mags easier to insert/remove, but it wasn't done.
If you don't have strong hands, forget this thing, you'll hate it for sure every time. If you're macho man, you'll think I'm a wimp for mentioning it.
3. The standard 10 shot ruger mag is a bear to get in and out.
On a clip, there are two round fixture points used on a mag (one large diameter, one small for correct orientation in the gun, but that really doesn't matter for this part). Unfortunately, the extreme length of the factory mag between the 2 fixture points is a hair too long for this unit, so it jams terribly in my loader. If you thought a BC steel lips mag was hard to insert / remove, try the factory in my loader! You basically have to put it in a vice, squeeze the remove buttons in and yank out the mag. I refuse to modify my factory mag to fit this thing, and therefore only use the BC units only in the speed loader.
4. They don't feed very smoothly, I find I have to constantly jiggle this unit from side to side when loading a mag. otherwise it sticks and I have to pull the mag out, clear the jam, and carry on.
I could go on, but in conclusion, I think one would be better served by a competitors solution, rather than commit to this turkey.
Probably, I'll put it up on ebay after the summer, and buy a Butler Creek one.

I Just got a email from Frontier ( look up at the banners)

I had couple I had got just before one of the spring shows
and put both on the table and they vanished brfor the doors even opened.

I was thinking about buying one of these. I use 4-25 rnd butler creek mags when I go 'a gopher killin'. Common sense prevailed when I realised my 6yr old and 8 yr old daughters can load 2 clips while I shoot the other two. Goes pretty smooth.
If i could figure out those damn smilies, this one would be a dancing banana.(Whatever that means)It just looks cool.
