We've been down the same Ruger Road with the American Rimfire rifles. Of the five I've had 'hands-on', every single one of them had extraction issues, even with a spotless chamber and good clean ammo. I AM pretty happy with the SR 1911 I bought last year, it's been flawless so far, but a 10/22 I recently bought had to have the stock reworked before the magazines would enter or eject. No big deal on that, and it shoots well for a 10/22. I have a Wrangler that shoots nowhere near the sights, though, and it pisses me off whenever I look at it. I think I'm done with newer Rugers, though.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
