I assume the ruger 10/22 is considered high capacity due to the preban highcaps availible for it. I have an FID card and need a reliable and resonably priced autoloader .22 for target shooting that is "low capacity". What do you recomend?

Pump action, tube-fed .22s are an exception to the usual MA large capacity law.
Does that mean high capacity 10/22 mags are not restricted, as in I can buy newly made ones?

I believe that the 10/22 is not considered large capacity because it was never sold with a large capacity magazine. IF you can find a pre-ban large cap mag you can use that. No, I'm not selling mine.
One reason I haven't bothered to try and buy another.Finding a pre-ban large cap mag for that rifle may be very difficult.
The mag I'm referring to was purchased in New Jersey sometime in the early 1980's, so I KNOW it's pre-ban. And like I said, it's not for sale. I don't use it that much, but there are times when I just want to send a LOT of rounds downrange in a hurry. Just because I can.If you live or shoot in MA, buy large capacity mags only with great caution.

Where you only have an FID card, you CANNOT posses a large capacity feeding device. Even pre-ban.Does that mean high capacity 10/22 mags are not restricted, as in I can buy newly made ones?
The possession of a firearm identification card issued under section one hundred and twenty-nine B shall not entitle any person to carry a firearm in violation of section ten of chapter two hundred and sixty-nine and, the possession of a firearm identification card issued under section 129B shall not entitle any person to possess any large capacity rifle or shotgun or large capacity feeding device therefor in violation of subsection (m) of said section 10 of said chapter 269.
You know, when new licensees in MA get simple, basic questions like this one wrong, I have to wonder what, if anything, their NRA/MSP-certified firearms instructor taught them about Massaschusetts' firearms law.
If you are an NRA/MSP instructor, there is no good excuse for failing to teach this material.
I have a 30 round Eagle pre-ban mag for my Ruger... it works flawlessly.Moreover,
The overwhelming bulk of those Hi-Cap 10/22 mags utterly "hug the root" (suck something royal) pre-ban, post-ban or otherwise.
