MWG 50 round drum mags, Eagle 30 round hicap magazines and Butler Creek 25 round Hot Lips and Steel Lips magazines are some of the most reliable mags we've found for the Ruger 10/22. Factory Ruger hicap magazines hold 25 rounds.

The Eagle, Butler Creek, MWG and Ruger brand magazines (sometimes referred to in error as "clips") we offer are available to fit 10/22 type rifles. Mags for the .22 long rifle caliber guns also fit the .17 Hornady Mach 2 (.17HM2) caliber guns, but .17 cal reliability is spotty with hicaps. Our 10/22 mags are available in 25, 30, and 50 round capacity.

Ruger offers 25 round mags for their 10 22's. Their new, high capacity "banana clip" (BX-25) is extremely well made. We haven't had any problems with them at all. Ruger factory magazines/clips have steel feed lips and steel contact points (where the mag is held in place in the 1022 rifle). Although we have seen a few defective Ruger brand mags over the years, it is a rare occurence.

Eagle brand mags from MB Products are also American made. For reliable 1022 mags of 30 round capacity, we have found no better brand than Eagle. Each mag comes with a lifetime guarantee against defects. Some people dislike polycarbonate bodied mags. However, if reliability is important to you, we highly recommend buying Eagle brand. More than 99% of their mags function perfectly, right out of the package. Some of the Eagle brand mags we've used are still working reliably 18 years after purchase.

When an Eagle mag causes cartridges "bind up" about 3 rounds down from the top, there is a simple fix. You will find that the Eagle mag has a small wafer that fits in the spring mechanism. From the outside, left side of the mag, it looks like one of the slots of a cross inside a circle. Using a screwdriver or wood dowel, press down on the follower of an EMPTIED mag. Gently push the wafer back into place with a left to right motion. It will easily slide back into position. Remove the tool, load the magazine, and go shooting. Your Eagle mag is back in action.

Butler Creek's Hot Lips and Steel Lips brands have been almost as reliable. Again, more than 99% of Butler Creek mags function perfectly, right out of the package. Occasionally, their quality control suffers and an entire batch of B.C. mags will be defective. If one in a batch is good, they are all good. However, if one in a batch is bad, they are all bad. Because of their more durable, red nylon feed lips, the B.C. mags do cost more than Eagle mags.

MWG teardrop drum high capacity magazines have been some of the very best, most reliable hicap mags we've found. They have stainless steel feed lips and contact points, with a reliable belt design. The mag bodies are clear polycarbonate.

There are often capacity restrictions in various areas, these days. If you hunt, please check your local laws for capacity restrictions before using anything larger than 10 round mags in your rimfire. In most parts of the United States, plinking, varmint hunting, and target shooting can be done legally with 10 round, or greater, capacity. Examples of States where high capacity (greater than 10 rounds), rimfire rifle mags may no longer be sold or imported are California, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York State. Thanks to the continuing efforts of global gun banners, things may get even worse in the future for American and international gun owners.

Outside the United States, a 5 round magazine is sometimes the largest capacity rifle mag that can legally be used or owned. Australia is one example of a country that has banned public ownership of rifle magazines than can hold greater than 5 rounds. New Zealand has similar laws. Currently, Canada has a capacity exemption for rimfire mags (there is no limit for Canada). We do offer international shipping through our web store. However, if you intend to buy magazines from us, please check your country's laws before ordering.

All of our mags for Ruger 10/22 rifles are available for purchase at our e-store. Also found there are a large selection of other great accessory choices for dressing up your model of 10/22.
