Ruger no longer makes the 10/22 in .22 mag. There were problems with it. They do make the American Rimfire in .22 mag though. You can find 10/22 in .22 mag sometimes at gun shows or on used/consignment racks at a LGS.

Not sure of a Rem Mag, but the common 22 mag is more correctly the 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire or 22 W.M.R.

Search for 10/22 Magnum and you will find them for sale.

I am only aware of two current manufacturers that offer semi automatic 22 mag. Remington and Magnum Research.

You will find numerous bolt actions and a couple of single shot guns.

Good luck.

The 10/22M experienced reliability issues and thus was discontinued after being produced for just a short time -> '98-'06. It's since become a somewhat sought after model commanding prices in the $800-1000 range when located. Had the same basic design yet used a steel receiver rather than aluminum alloy. Also had the Ruger style integral ring mounts integral to the receiver.
While there were some mocked up for testing, a 10/17M was planned but never reached production.

+1 I've been keeping my eye out for one for years. I just missed one at a local pawn shop by an hour. Your prices are correct, IMHO.
I pretty much gave up. I have a Ruger American, Marlin bolt, Single Six Convertible, so I'll leave it at that.

I wonder what the issue was with the Ruger 10/22 .22WMR? I have thought about one of the MAGNUM RESEARCH 10/22 style .22 Magnum rifles. The whole outfit is just like a 10/22 and even uses the RUGER .22 Magum Rotary Magazine. I did notice that you must shoot 40 or 50 grain mag ammo in the MR rifle - if you use less you will void the warranty. What did Magnum Research do that Ruger could not to make the .22WMR work in a rifle?

For now I will stick with my Savage Bolt Action .22Mag rifle. It has superior accuracy and I really like the fact the bolt action loading makes for a controlled load/aim/shoot action and not just clicking the trigger as fast as you can....

Here it is with my Ruger Single Six Hunter .22Magnum revolver . . both extremely accurate shooters!!!
