My new Ruger BX-25 X2 mag is on the way

My new Ruger BX-25 X2 mag is on the way ** Arrived - Pics Added ***

Well, I have no idea how late to the party I've been, but I just found out about Ruger's new BX-25 X2 magazine today. I know, I know, I must have been sleeping when they first came out .

In any case I happened to see that PSA had some in stock on their website. It was twice the price of a regular BX-25 and I figured it would be since it's two mags in one. I was shocked to see them in stock at any rate, but I was happy to order one because bx-25 are one thing I wish I'd have bought a few more of a few months ago.

I don't know if anyone else out is interested in knowing how well it works or not, but once I get it out for a test run I'll report back.

How much was it? CDNN had them for $70 which I think is outrageous.

They are the BX-25 X2, the double mags, for $54.95 which is a very good, pre-panic price.

That's news to me.
Can they be seperated?
And that is a good price considering the price of the original 25 rounder.
I'm surprised they aren't sold out. Hopefully the buying craze is slowing down.

That isn't too bad. They ranged 20-25 for the single ones before the panic

I thought $55 was pretty reasonable. I would have bought more than one since they actually had them in stock, but at $55 each I'm going to make sure that I like them and they function correctly before I go stocking up. In either case I hope the $55 price point is a good sign of things to come. It seems like a lot of money for a 22lr magazine, but the way I'm looking at it I'd be paying that much to buy two regular bx-25's so why not save the space and try something new?

Until this morning, I didn't even know that Ruger had created this new mag. Did they just bring it out at shot show?

No, single unit.

Just checked a couple auctions at gunbroker and wow, do I ever feel glad I bought one at $55. If a guy wanted to make a quick buck you could all that PSA had for sale and double it on gunbroker. I hope this madness ends some time reasonably soon.

No, single unit.

Understood.
Should be good Zombie medicine.
Now for the want of a 50 round box of .22 ammo.

So in other words they'll be sold out before suppertime.
Crazy times we live in.

I was too slow posting.

 

[teddy12b]

Wow, so even with all the high volume of orders that PSA has been getting lately I just got a tracking number this morning in an email. I wasn't expecting that in a week from now.

 

[terrehautian]

Picked one up locally a few weeks ago for 44. They are a little bit more heavier then my other 25 round magazines because they are double. Have to see how they work in a match setting though.

 

[SERparacord]

I stopped by a gun shop that had them yesterday. $70 is not a good price.

 

[teddy12b]

Well, it is here. I took some pictures to help give a size comparison in case anyone was wondering how it related size wise to a pair of butler creek steel lipped magazines. I also stuck the mag in my 10-22 with a folding stock to make sure all was well with the folding stock and in case someone else out there might have been wondering the same thing I took some more pictures.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do anything other than load it and hold it. I'm hoping that this weekend there'll be a quick trip out back and I can run some mag dumps. Hopefully the pictures help.

 

[teddy12b]

As a side note, as I type this the first post I made says six days ago. PSA processed my order extremely fast and I am very pleased by that.

 

[Reid]

If I see any I will prob pick up one, but really just want the regular bx-25.

 

[diavic]

I ordered one, package showed up yesterday. To my disapointment they shipped me a BX-25, not the BX-25 X2.

I sent them an email. Hopefully they will refund the difference and I can keep this one.

That looks really good. I have a couple of the BX-25's I'd love to have that mag, but instead of having to flip it, have it just feed all 50 at once....reliably
