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.

I bought a second-hand SR-22 many years ago. It was the second or third firearm I purchased. It's been rock solid. My kids have put thousands of rounds through it.

Yes it's heavier than a typical 10/22 but it's pretty solid vs some of the plastic stocks you'd put on a 10/22 to get a similar tacti-cool style.
