10-22’s are NICE and the capability of different style “ad-ons” are almost endless and plentyful (including “clips”).

Yep.
Those UK riots would not have gone on for nearly as long as they did if more honest citizens were allowed to own guns.

Brits still can’t handle we beat their asses. Without guns we’d still be subjects to the damn queen.

The trouble is that, left in the hands of individuals, each gets to define their own version of tyranny and potentially undermine democracy with their firearms.Hardly. One or even ten guys alone aren't going to decide to overthrow the government and succeed in anything but suicide by cop. "Democracy" is undermined by politicians who don't give a flying fig about the rule of law.

Dear Mr. Younge, you Marxist pimple on humanity’s arse, our forefather’s unerringly saw the wisdom of maintaining a right to keep and bear arms and threw the British boot heel off of our throats because of it. Now it rests on yours because you were too weak and deluded to keep your government masters from taking all means of resisting them from you. In fact you were so stupid you helped them. Enjoy your subjugation!

“Missouri representative Jeanette Oxford, who represents a district in St Louis, disagrees. “From the outset violence was enforced with weapons of various kinds in North America,” she says. “I think the ability to enforce your right through might is ingrained in us.”
The strong can’t tyranize the weak if, and only if, the weak are armed.
Rep Jeantte Oxford is a Democrap, of course. Her position is satirized by her own appearance - rather obese and fitting for a Democratic “Trough Feeder”.

That's a decent looking rifle. My last purchase was from Magnum Research. They made a custom receiver to Ruger specs with an integral Picatinny rail, carbon fiber barrel and skeletonized stock. I had to replace the firing pin and hammer spring to get it to shoot reliably. It was just fine after those minor fixes. A note on their site now addresses the problem. Quality ammo in their "Benz" high accuracy chamber. They recommend CCI Standard velocity ammo for proper cycling. The "stinger" cases are too long for the chamber. The color scheme for the stock is "Forest Camo".

Lovely rifle wow!
That skeletal stock is just fantastic.
I have found that shooting cheap Remington .22 lr ammo out of the sr22 will cause the gun to jam from time to time. It’s easy to clear, but that does frustrate. Same thing happens in my standard Ruger 10/22 if I use the same Remington ammo.

The MR rifle is light as a feather and perfectly balanced in your left hand. My wife opted for the 17M2 version. Both are very accurate and pleasant to shoot. I opted for a CZ 452 Varmint bolt action for my 17M2 rifle. It's a a real tack driver. Checking their site, it was discontinued in 2010. I hope that isn't indicative of an issue of ammo availability. No opportunity to go to the range for the last 3 years :-(

Is that bad little puppy perchance available in .17 Rem., or .22 WMR ?

As Muslims, political correctness and cultural diversity destroy the UK, the time will come when the victims will wish they were armed.

No, I don’t think so. It is strictly a Ruger 10/22 barrel and receiver with specially made ar-15 parts. It is capable of using all Ruger 10/22 accessories as well as ar-15 accessories, and as far as I know it only fires .22 lr ammo.
It’s kind of like shooting an ar-15 with really inexpensive ammo, which is nice. Very fun to shoot this weapon, and with a bipod and red dot, it is so accurate it’s frightening.

I am amazed when people call the NRA successful as there are huge swaths of land in this nation where people cannot carry guns.

Dear U.K. Get over it. American riflemen and natural born patriotic freemen kicked your ass. Let it go. Damn right. 237 years ago today, as a matter of fact, when the Brits in question were trying to take our guns.
They can kiss my ass and go back to the other side of the Pond and stay there.
