Good to know the gun will now shoot. It isn't about trying to get it to shoot great, sometimes it is just getting it to shoot every time you pull the trigger.
It SURE needed the springs. And It most likely needed the extractor spring as well. Parts wear. And not replacing springs on an older USED well gun is not a waste of money.
And Magazines? If Rugers they should work full. aftermarket? who knows, don't buy them
About 10 years ago I tested my old 10-22 in a good rest. And it was quite accurate with select 22 ammo. But the trigger, to quote a friend of mine "was like pulling a log out of brush". So I go the Volquartsen trigger upgrade kit which reduced it from about 8-10 pounds down to about 2 1/2 pounds. I tested it in a solid rest first to make sure it was actually accurate.
