Ruger Model 22/45 Mark III Rimfire Pistol VS Browning Buckmark Camper

I had decided to buy the Ruger until I shot the Buckmark. I now own a Buckmark and couldn't be happier.

Buckmark all the way.

I totally dislike the feel of the Mk III. They used too many composite parts and it feels cheap. I also don't like the grip on it. The grip on the Buckmark is fantastic.

Shot both owned one (Buckmark)
you cant go wrong with either one
Simple answer is go to a range and shoot both and whatever fits you better, buy that

I love my 22/45, can't get more accurate. The composite grip is a little cheesy but they do have a new variation with replaceable panels... you could also just add a hogue wrap around.

I have never fired a Buckmark but I have heard good things about them. I owned a MK II 22/45 and while it was nice to shoot, it was a PITA to fieldstrip and clean. I have owned a few more .22 pistols since I owned the 22/45 and I now own a Ruger Charger and 2 Sig Mosquitos.

I've got a mark III target. And they are a little more complicated to strip than I would prefer. However its a very nice and accurate .22 target pistol, especially for the 300 dollar price tag.

once you've taken them apart a few times(rugers) it gets easier but definitely the most picky gun to put back together. I've seen some modding of the 22/45 grip to allow a 1911 hogue rubber wrap around to fit. Definitely gonna do it to mine when i get some time. I say go with ruger, can't beat the aftermarket parts too!
