Grits, I have a Ruger MKII also and I love it but it sounds like a .30-06 when I fire long rifles in it. Really, really loud!

I also just ordered a 25 round magazine for my 10/22 but haven't tried it yet. Cost about $20. Was a name brand but I can't remember the name and I am too lazy to get up and look.
Fine little rifle. Deadly at 40 yards consistently with a Bushnell 4X. I have more guns than I need but less than I want. As someone once noted, there is a fine line between hobby and mental illness! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
