I have been running remmington through my other 10/22 but i have heard this rifle doesnt really like them. I have also heard that the rifle will fire anything you put in it, i just need some clarification on the ammo issue. If you have any suggestions just post them please i dont like a rifle that jams and misfires all day at the range just because your purchased some bad ammo.

First of all the barrels all droop, albiet the support block. The issue with the support block is if you rest on the handguard it will shift barrel slightly...I know because the first thing I did with mine is remove the block. Without a threaded barrel into the receiver, or at the minimum a set screwed V block there is too much play on the barrel/reciever slip fit joint. Lastly, Ruger has a lawyer..and he weighs more than 7 pounds....without a proper trigger group upgrade (minimum hammer) you aint printing 1/2" groups at +100 yards except in your dreams. Mine is getting a Volquartsen hammer and sear..hopefully getting the pull down to 2 1/2-3 lbs. It is a decent rifle. Mine shoots about 3/8" groups at 25 yrds, 3/4-1" at 50 and about 1.5" at a 100...this is good for a non accurized 10/22 in black garb. My only complaint is its hard to get a cheekweld unless you get a picatinny riser for your scope. With a riser, I ran out of adjustment with my scope between the 25/100 yard distances. I am waiting for a high ring Burris Signature Zee mount that will let me put the off concentric inserts in it to center my crosshairs at 75 yards.

I looked at Big 5 and a few other stores. Found mine at Turners on sale. I looked at the Colt and S&W before purchasing. It seemed to me that big clip just looked strange for a .22 rifle. I like the rotary clips that you can store many in pocket. I am still in the 10 day waiting period and super excited to shoot it. I have a Ruger mini 14 (purchased in 84) and if the SR-22 is anything like it in reliability that rifle will be great for many years. I am hoping many of the negative comments were in regards to bad ammo. I bought several different types to test. I'll repost once fired. All, I just bought an SR-22 in California for 599$ .

While I still stand by that issue, after firing a few hundred rounds, I really like this weapon. It is accurate and great fun to shoot. Of approximately 400 rounds of bulk-boxed Remington hollow points I have experienced 3 misfires. All three were bad ammo. I had no ejection failures of any kind. Good job, Ruger (except for the 3 tools to disassemble issue). I wrote in Dec 2009 that my new SR22 was very difficult to clean.

I have a new guilty pleasure. This gun shoots so well and so accurately I'm thinking about taking it coyote hunting and leaving the 5.56 at home. With a fixed 4 power fiber optic scope and bipod from Combat Optical, I put 100 rounds of CCI 40 grain target ammo into a 5/8 inch group at 125 yards. This barrel is sick. I also put almost 50 rounds of CCI 36 grain varminter hollow point rounds into a 1/2 inch group at the same distance. The factory 10 round mag works flawlessly. I also bought a " hotlips" 10 round mag that misfeeds, fails to strip etc. Buy quality mags. And yes, this is the coolest .22 ever manufactured. I have been using this in the last week to train my teenage girls to move and shoot with an M4 platform. The Blackhawk elite one point bungee sling is perfect on this weapon.

The colt works great but the s&w worked good for a while then it started acting up stove pipes aboute every 5 rounds called s&w and I am sending it back for update.Not very happy with s&w this should never happen with a new rifle. I like the s&w but it does not perform. I hope the sr-22 doesent give any problems. I have the colt m4 22 and the s&w 15-22 and i just bought the sr-22 haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet.

First point, the SR22 doesn't come with any tools. I broke 3 different tools trying to remove the flash suppressor, you're better off taking it to a smithy. And, mine only came with one clip [not that I don't have enough already]. At least 1 in 10 rounds misfired with 3 different types of ammo. Misfire meaning, the firing pin would ignite the primer, but the bullet didn't leave the casing. Then the recoil would actuate the bolt, feeding the next round. However, since the first round misfired and wasn't ejected, the following round jammed and bent; wasting two rounds per misfire. After 10 or 12 misfires in about 80 rounds, I honestly got frightened and refused to shoot it again. I returned it and got my money back, thank you Cabela's. Maybe the bolt wasn't properly connecting with the receiver or the firing pin was faulty, I don't know what the problem was. 1.5 of 5 stars.

After about 200 rounds, I have a couple of extraction failures. AH-Ha, the weapon needs a simple cleaning. I followed the manual instructions to the letter, but the barrel/receiver would not come out of the stock. I emailed Ruger and five days later received a single line, "The top rail must be removed." No explanation, no comment on the omission in the manual, nothing more. Ruger has designed and made a weapon that requires 3 tools, screwdriver and two different hex wrenches to disassemble, for a simple cleaning. I would not have bought this weapon if I had realized how difficult cleaning seems to be. I own several Ruger handguns and a couple of rifles that I really like. However, the SR22 is a poor design.
