Yea the magazine seems to be an issue for some, but looking at it closely (Ruger has them on their website) it looks like there was no other way to design it.

It feeds to the left and has to allow ejection to the left as well. The magazine feed also appears to rotate opposite of the right hand magazine.

Anyway it's an option for those that aren't invested in the platform. To be honest I have exactly one 10/22 that I inherited from my father in law. Never shot it.

My semi auto has been a Browning SA-22 since 1967, I never got into 10/22's for that reason, but you never know I might try one.
