I have the B22G and really like it. I agree the mags take some break in and their is a learning curve on loading them. When I first got the gun over a year ago I had a lot of problems with FTE. I kept the gun clean and just kept shooting it thinking it needed to break in. Now no more problems with FTE. The mags have performed without a problem for me. No problems with FTF and they snap right in place. My gun has the hardwood stock and I love the ergonomics and looks of it. At this time I'm thinking of adding a 17HMR to the stable and can get a good deal on a Savage 93 series gun but I have read some negative reports on the magazines for these guns and am reluctant to purchase one. The way this B22G has performed I think I should stay with the B22 series.
