I bought a Ruger RAR for farm truck gun when I'm back home and its a decent gun except you have to watch the magazine release.

I went beaver shooting and carried it out to the woods holding it cradle style and noticed the magazine release was jabbing my arm and adjusted my hold a bit... When I got to the beaver blind... magazine was missing.

Never thought I would complain about the extended release and embrace the flush one on a 10/22...

Crap hanging out the bottoms of hunting rifles is one of my pet peeves; one of several reasons I traded off my otherwise fine CZ.

Whether it's a magazine or a clip, it it sticks out, it's a nuisance.

Yup.
I'd have ground it down before it ever had the first shot.

I also have one and truly dislike that mag release. Never had a problem with the old flush 10 22 mag release.

Trying to think of a possible scenario I would need to do a speed reload with a bolt action .22lr rifle.

Grind down the release as previously stated. I find that the 15-rd BX-15 helps protect the release from getting tripped. BX-25 works too, but is a little less handy-dandy.

I replaced the one on my .17 with an old flush one from a 10/22. Quick and easy. As many people as there are that replace the flush ones you should be able to pick one up cheap.

Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight.

I would think a bump pad on the bottom of the magazine would help. I put them on my 10/22. They don't protrude and they are flat on the bottom. I found mine on evil-bay.

Those new mag releases on the 10/22's suck ass.

But people that don't shoot love stupid schit.

Dremel. Dremel Tool. Makee less obtrusive.


I've got a RAR predator and a 10-22 that need the treatment. One of those gotta get around to it, treatments.
