I've had a a stainless MKII target model since 1985. I don't think it's had so much as a hiccup after many 1,000s of rounds.
You can also shoot the bullseye out of a target at 25 yds with it.

+1 for the wheelgun
Single Six .22LR and .22WMR fun
But my next is a ruger semiauto
Love my Ruger .22's. I've owned a number of mk's, the sr and yes even a Wrangler, have never had a problem.
For some reason the grip angle on the mk's fits my hand perfectly.
Only reason for a .22 wheelie is so you don't inadvertently leave a shell casing behind. :)
Love my Ruger rimfires! Mark IV Target, 22/45 Lite, Wrangler and last but not least the 10/22. Everyone should own at least one 10/22!
No doubt!
Didn*t feel like starting a new thread.
I*ve owned a Ruger Mk III stainless target model for about 15 years and a Mk III 22/45 LITE for about 10 years. Enjoyed them as they were out of the box and I got a wild hair to improve them.
If you have a mk II or III ruger you got to do these mods from tandemkross.
Fiber front sight is an obvious upgrade to both guns. Great improvement to the solid black front sight.
Both got a loaded road indicator delete which improves reliability and cleans up the look.
Both got a magazine disconnect delete and now the mags lock in and pop out so easily, not the case before. The 22/45 was especially difficult to seat a mag in.
Additionally, the 22/45 got a new bolt catch mechanism that allows it to be slingshot to go into battery like every other gun.
Installation of all those parts took about an hour including a deep clean of both guns, which had never been cleaned before in the time I*ve owned them (they never failed, so why bother).
My pocket is lighter less than $130 and I*m quite tickled with these improvements.
I watched one disassembly video once and I didn’t have any issues with tear down or reassembly. I can see why these are considered notoriously difficult to work on. I may have been cursing the earth if I didnt have a video to watch.
Browning Buck Mark master race checking in ...
Buck Mark > Ruger Mk's
Unlike the Ruger, there is no need to field strip it to adequately clean it, no tubular receiver to trap all the grit from 22's. lock bolt back spray with gun scrubber or similar, punch bore a few times, blow out with compressed air, lube shoot like hell,Lather,rinse,repeat Ive had mine going on 30 years and probally only detailed stripped it two or three times and it gets shot alot and has never hiccuped no matter what I feed it, my daughters may wear the thing out !
I only wish the aftermarket would offer more for it, but out of the box it really needs nothing, and did I mention has a better trigger and more accurate than any of my friends and familys Ruger Mk's I've shot
