Usually I just like sticking to OEM or Mecgar magazines, but you end up hearing about the Butler creek mags for the 10/22 if you lurk around the forums enough. Are they any good in terms of durability and reliability?

10 rounders work fine and you don't have to guess if it locked in. The steel lip mags, which I have, are supposedly more durable but I've had 4 plastic lipped ones that I've been lending out for over 6 years at 'Seeds that haven't missed a lick.

The plastic lipped ones I had were fine until they developed a groove where the rim pushed up against them.  This was back in 2011 when I started the polymer may be better now. I pretty much stick to the factory mags now.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery
