I have herd that some after market high capacity mags are prone to jam. What is the best high capacity mag for the Ruger 10/22?

I have had good luck with the 25 round Butler Creek mags. I really like the steel lipped mags - they are kinda hard to find now. Most every one has the plastic ones - they work fine as well. They will snap together - kind of a "jungle" clip arrangement. Of course I never fool with that.

I have a bunch of the eagle mags 30rd and they're great!

i have both the butler creek 25 rounder and 2 eagle 30 rounders the eagles look cooler but the butler creek seems more reliable so thats what i use. ive never had any problems with the butler creek 25 rounder and have only had some minor feed problems with the eagle ones, and the eagles cost less money, but hey i say 100% reliabilaty is what realy matters

I have a Butler Creek and an Eagle, both 25 rounders and have no problems with either. Try to stick with the steel lips though, alittle more spendy but much more less prone to damage.

+1 on the steel lips. I've had 2 Eagle 30 rounders that never functioned properly.

SM, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Eagle went out of business. I've only been able to find the Hot-Lips out here.
I've never figured out why Ruger won't make larger cap mags for their own firearms.
