I like suppressors, but I believe I'd use some red loctite on the protector if I had one. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

Mag is way different than my Whittakers special 22-250, gonna talk to Ruger to see if they can update, action is different as is stock. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!

I don't want much less than 3 1/2# on this beast . Tried it again and the new mag works in my older 22-250 just fine. I will be ordering more soon. Last edited by jimone; 04/25/19.
