With my christmas bouns I bought a Ruger MKIII 5.5 inch bullbarrel... Well I knew it would be the last gun buy for a long time and I needed a cheep shooter.... I love it I Had a S&W 22a 10+ years ago dam thing never worked right......But this is just Sweet and cheep to shoot!

Sorry about the Stock pic....

Nice. I almost got a Ruger myself - last Feb, but I went with a Buckmark.

Nice gun!

Cool. I don't have a 22lr pistol yet.

It was not priced too bad either 299.99 on GB plus 10.00 shipping....OTD i paid like 325.00

Everyone needs a .22 pistol and rifle, they are way too fun.

I have a Mark II, love it, if I didn't have a Mark II already I would get the III.

When they are brand new youll have no problem taking it apart to field stripping it, but have fun getting it back together :lol:

My first time I went back to the gun shop with the it apart.

Well, I was going to get a Ruger 22/45 - but Mike at Champion told me I'd probably need a ruber mallet to get it apart in the beginning.

Anyway - I rented a Buckmark, and liked it a lot. When I compred the feel of the Ruger grip to the Browning - I liked the Browning better. And, with the easier disassembly - it was a plus.

I can't say that it never jams. But, it works about 85% of the time. I only have about 700 rounds thru it. It's just a 22, so I'm not expecting 100% reliability out of it, like I demand from my other guns. And, it may get better with more use.

I have a mark II and I think i got it for $159.00 back in 1990. It has NEVER jammed and It is very accurate. Yes... It is a liitle problematic to reassemble after cleaning but well worth the trouble. :? 22s are great to practice with.

I did not like the poly frame...on the 22/45......

 

[ShipWreck]

Well, I was going to go with the 22/45 because I don't like the angle on the standard Rugers...

Here's a pic of my old Ruger..Clark internals and trigger, Clark magazine release conversion, German silver grips made by a friend for me up in Vermont.
This gun is deadly accurate! A fun pistol to shoot!

Ship - It shouldn't jam 15% of the time. Mine is just about 100% jam free and I don't even clean it that often. I don't even remember any jamming problems when it was new.

Well, I don't shoot it much - and have ONLY shot CCI Minimags. Maybe I'll try a different ammo.
