cruddy gun/mags/amm0
The above 3 issues will cover about all semi problems.
A dirty gun or mags, or bad mag, or a gun that is picky about the type of ammo it likes, is the root of most issues.
Since .22 are usually high volume and low maint rifles, I'd start with a good cleaning. The rotary mag in the 10/22 is a great design, but cleaning one can be a hassle and is often neglected. I don't even think Ruger recommends stripping one down, but it can be done, and can be reassembled incorrectly too.
The only problem mine has given me was when I let a mag get funky.
