    Butler Creek steel lips have always worked best for me. Others always seem to break or cause jams. Factory mags are even better if ya only want 10rds.

    I'll second the Butler Creek; I've found that their plastic guide-lipped magazines are 100% reliable too, though I prefer the steel-lipped.

    Here is a C&P of what I wrote on another forum.


    Here is what I posted last time on this thread, http://www.warrifles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52063 . I will add that the factory 10rd mags are/should be the most reliable. You do need to make sure you have the spring wound up tight enough.



    All of the mags in the pic are Butler Creek 25rd "hot lip" mags. I have several of them that I have had for years and thousands of rounds. I had to toss my first one a few weeks ago as the feed lips were shot (no pun). These mags have served me well but I got them when they were $10 each. As I need to replace them I will not be buying more unless the price is right. That is not to say they are bad, but there are better ones out there.

    I have heard mixed reviews on Ramline mags. Some people love them and some hate them. I have only ever heard good about BC mags. I have heard mixed things about Eagle brand mags too and I tried one since they are cheep. I know owning one is not a great review, but I don't like it and will not buy more.

    Now for the good, better and best in my book.

    BC Hot Lips are very good mags. The feed lips are plastic so after tons of use the wear will show. Like I said above I have put thousands of rounds through mine for well over 10yrs now. Price is about $15-20.

    BC Steel Lips are better then the Hot Lips mags. You guessed it they are better as the feed lips are steel. With steel lips you will not have the long term use issue like the Hot Lips. Price is about $25

    Now for the best http://www.tacticalinc.com/ti25-adva...022-p-532.html . I have one of these mags I picked up cheep from a local dealer. These mags are way above and beyond any other mag I have seen. It is the only non factory mag I can get to fit and feed in my 77/22, not that I ever really use one in it. They also come apart for cleaning unlike other mags. They use the same style parts found inside BC mags but are replaceable if needed. As I replace/add to my stocks they will be with this mag. Down side is price normally at $37 but I see they are on sale right now.

    There is one "better" but does not really fit with the question. TI also makes a machined aluminum mag that is awsome, but priced about $65.

    Hope that helps.

    I've had bad experiences with Butler Creek mags. Only use Ruger.

    Tried most of the aftermarkets, found a package deal for 10 factories and haven't looked back.

    I will add another +1 for www.tacticalinc.com

    These mags are just as good or better than Butler Creek because they can be dissassembled and cleaned. The newest version can be had for about the same price, but the aluminum ones or more expensive.
