The 10/22 I was shooting a couple months ago jammed alot. Although that could have been because it needed cleaning. I know it is supposed to be a very good rifle though. Cleaning or a different choice of ammunition... not much gas out of a .22 to blow back the bolt, so ammunition choice in autoloaders is a bit of an art. CCI Stingers are supposed to be really good. From experience, I can say Remington subsonic all-lead HPs aren't. Bren R.

And reading through the Ruger 1022 manual - Stinger ammunition is verboten.

Ditto what Bren said. I used to sell the 1022 at my old job and they are somewhat finicky about ammunition. CCI Blazers seemed to be horrible for the Ruger--not enough oomph to load properly. One customer tried to bring one back. I looked at it and saw so much lead build-up around the chamber that new rounds weren't fitting. I sold him a cleaning kit.

Reading AGAIN... the CCI Stingers are only verboten in the 10/22 Target rifle... can be used in the standard, carbine and compact.

After hearing about the 10/22 jamming problems mentioned, I followed up with some of my avid shooting/gun freak co-workers who have a 10/22 (pretty much any male Alaskan resident fits that description). All of them told me they have not ever had a problem with theirs, but one did tell me that stingers suck.

I've heard of one complaint about a 10/22 sticking... and the guy was adamant how crappy he thought their autoloader system was... later on I was talking about how I was a little leery about it because part of the field stripping requires you to drift out the trigger guard pins... and he said "oh, I never do that"... so I'll chalk his experience up to lack of maintenance.
I've decided on it as my .22 rifle, and I'll be able to give first-hand feedback on it in a month or so.
