Ruger 10/22 Question > 10/22 & 22 Caliber Rifles

Do all the Ruger 10/22 models accept .22Mag or just certain ones? I'm looking at the list of rifles on their website and they're all listed as .22lr. On one of the pages it mentions a ".22 Magnum model (10/22 RBM)" but there is nothing with RBM in the model.

The 10/22 Magnum was a completely different model, and had a steel receiver with built-in bases for Ruger scope rings, and was also made long enough to accomodate the .22WMR round. Another difference was that the bolt the 10/22 Mag used was made of tungsten, the added mass being needed for the more powerful cartridge it fired. The 10/22 Magnum was discontinued some time ago.
