Had one a few years back, as widu13 says can be fussy. I would suggest you keep the action as
clean & dry (very little oil) as possible.
Rgds, Buck.
PS. In my own opinion you can't beat a BRNO now known as CZ. BOMBPROOF!!

I've never seen one work properly and don't know why people buy them.

Honestly. The best selling 22 autolading rifle in the world and you've never seen one work properly?? Then you haven't seen many.
Switch ammo. Before you do that, clean the gun and lightly oil the receiver rails and bolt return spring. At the same time disassemble the magazine and clean it. If all that fails, buy a new magazine.~Muir.

I have 3 mates who have them and I got tired of the click, expletive, click, click, bang, expletive, 2 minutes to clear jam, click etc. So I stick to what I know. Bolt action BRNO more accurate and more reliable. I don't know why people buy Ruger 10/22's.

As usual Muir is spot on with his advise.
I have shot 10/22 's a lot. I don't like them, but if maintained correctly and the right ammo is used you will find that they are very reliable and reasonably accurate.
Most of the problems I have encountered with them were from either;
1) Poor ammunition choice .
2) Failure to de-crud every so often.
3) Failure to maintain the magazine properly.
4) Over lubrication.
Once again it's the same old addage "A rifle should be like a good soldier, spottlessly clean and lightly lubricated". I would just add to that and properly fed.

Basically sounds like lack of maintenance

I found that the bolt return spring is too strong when using subs but the rifle worked fine with HV the bolt did't seem to go all the way back and pick up the next round especially with Winchester subs this was rectified by removing the spring and heating the last quarter inch till it relaxed, very rarely had another jam I have repeated this on at least another four rifles.

All 3 were new rifles- and to other posters - why put up with all the aggravation?

+1 on the Brno's/CZs. I have three of them. I also have five 10/22's. I keep them in good working order, clean, and don't expect 100% function with subsonics unless I have set the rifle up specifically for their use. I am not a big fan of the autoloaders, but they can be quite reliable and accurate when kept in good trim. My "test mule" for various 22 ammo has gone periods of fire lasting 1000 round and more without a hitch. Dirty magazines, and poorly adjusted magazines, are the novices downfall.~Muir
Have had one for thirty years and it worked well until recently when it started jamming, stripped and cleaned the mag as described by Muir now operating as new.
I no longer have the original instructions, but if I remember correctly, it was recommended not to use oil but a silicone spray

New rifles should be cleaned thoroughly before use anyway.
I always intended to get a 10/22 but something lese always came along, same happened about .223 as well

What aggravation?
I'm with Muir. I've had a 10/22 for over 30 years and it's never given me any trouble and shoots subs and HV. The lube from .22 RF rounds will build up in the rotary mags after a while but it's a 3 minute job to strip, clean and adjust them. Routine maintainence pays off and as they say, 'A good workman never blames his tools'.
As to accuracy. They don't shoot too bad out of the box, some models better than others, and even the skinny barrel ones will perform well if you fine tune them. They are the original tinkerer's rifle and there are probably more aftermarket suppliers of components, add-ons, tune-up items, etc. etc. for the Ruger 10/22 than many other manufacturers have for their whole production ranges - you can even build a 'Ruger 10/22' that's never had a part that's seen the inside of the Ruger factory.
