Old Reliable.
A folding stock can be added to take an additional 12 inches or so off the total length, but make sure to always check local, state, and federal laws before shortening any firearm to make sure you are in compliance. The CRR is a short rifle and could potentially put you under required overall length, the standard 10/22 will generally not be an issue with a folding stock. Choate industries, and butler creek both make good quality folding stocks for the 10/22. Aftermarket 20 and 30 round clips can be purchased, but Rugers' unique rotary 10 round clip ensures a round is reliably fed every time, and should be more than sufficient for any survival situation... Still, some of us just like having 30 rounds at our semi-automatic disposal. If you are that guy, this is your gun. A 50 round box of .22LR ammo in your backpack, vehicle, or saddlebags wont add much weight, or take much space. UPDATE: Ruger is now manufacturing its own 25 round magazine, the BX-25. If you are looking for a high capacity 10-22 mag, just get the BX-25. It has Stainless Steel feed lips that present the round at the same 30 degree angle as the original factory 10 round magazine. The BX-25 also has a constant force stainless spring pushing an anti-tilt follower for consistent feeding from the first round to the last. Another great feature of the BX-25 magazine is that you can take out 2 screws to completely dissassemble and clean the mag. Here's some ruger BX25 images: (Click to enlarge)

Ruger 10/22 Video: Nikon Scope, Shooters ridge 30 round mag. The next two videos should help you out if you are in the market to buy a high capacity 10-22 magazine. This is the Shooters Ridge magazine: the video speaks for itself.
Here is the same rifle, with the same ammo, with a butler creek steel lips magazine: Way better than the shoothers ridge, but still jams occasionally.
I'll post a video of the Ruger BX25 mag in action soon ! Return from Ruger 10-22 CRR to Survival Rifles
