Buy recommendations Ruger SR-22 bad idea?

Went to go buy beef jerky, next door there’s a firearm store so I figured what the heck. Saw this Ruger SR-22 with 4 mags for 595 moose dollars on the used rack. Being a Ruger fan boy and having exactly 595 to spend on jerky, I bought it instead.

Figured Ruger could do me no harm. Heck I’d suck on old Bill Rugers toes if I could. But I opened up the Google and found quite a bit of bad reviews. Was the SR-22 really that bad? The weight I don’t mind.

Price is good. Pain in the ass to dissemble for cleaning. 4 small screws holding the top rail tend to strip easily.

My advice: buy it if you really want the tacticool look. Otherwise just buy a regular 10-22 (newer ones often come with the upgraded BX trigger already.
