Ruger gave up on the .22 Mag. They tried dual extractors, then the bolts started breaking at the second extractor cut.
Look in the online ads for an H-K 300, that was a good semi-auto design. The Magnum Research and Volquartsen rifles are good stuff, too. Not sure they're worth that kind of money, but you don't have many options if your heart is set on a 22 WMR.

They produce the receiver themselves. It's not Ruger, and it's got a Weaver rail built as one-piece with the reciver. They also product their own bolt based on a different design than Ruger had (gas assisted blowback".) They carry 22 WMR magazines, too, for $20 each.

That's not a bad deal right there, in my opinion. You don't see many complaints about their rifles, and they'll stand behind their products if you have an actual problem.
Here's an example:
Quote:For any customer who has purchased a Magnum Research .17HMR rifle, and has a concern
about this issue, please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-772-6168, Monday-
Friday 8:30-4:30 CST. By your request, if you decide to return your rifle, Magnum Research
will either refund the purchase price of the rifle, or replace the rifle with an equivalent one in a
different caliber.
That beats a "coupon" like Remington scammed people for, if you catch my drift.
