A non-option because of the magazine problem is the Remington Nylon 77. It used a 10-round box magazine.
But they put too much faith in Nylon, and made the mags out of it. I tried about four different types of glue to keep their sides together, and eventually gave up, wishing for a sturdy metal mag like they used on the 513T. Otherwise, the rifle was plenty accurate (2 MOA or better, depending on ammo) and tough as nails.
Unless you just can't stand the stock, go with the 10/22 and its clunky, boxy, durable, droppable magazines (and the now-overpriced option of high-caps too!).
But da ni-lon 77, it shore wuz neet to go chasin' wiley 'wabbits wif dat skinny spare mag in yo' shirt pokkit!

Reminiscing on that first PERSONAL rifle, bought at age 18.
