That is pretty slick. I like that it comes with the rear peep sight. And they left enough room in front of the front post to have it threaded. And apparently we don't have a 22 rifle specific forum. Last edited by RetiredSeabee; 10-25-2013 at 09:00 PM. |

That was neat. We don't have a .22 specific area but we do have a lot of 22 fans here. I'm one of them.

22s/rimfires? Between our handguns and rifles, we have 21 at the moment and I'll bet 303 can top that. I think the rimfire ammo makers could stay in business between 303 and us. ![]() No, as 303 says, we don't have a separate forum on 22s, but a good chunk of the posts on this forum are about 22s. Most of our rimfires are target grade guns because I'm an accuracy nut and we're both range rats. Have some nice lever gun rimfires, too. As a matter of fact, we braved the cold, yesterday, and got these two all sighted in. The old and the new, a 1965 MKI and a brand new MKIII that I did an upgrade on the trigger. Both shot, superbly - well under an inch at 16 yards for five shots with the iron sights. Love my Marks. ![]() |

I didn't used to shoot .22s much as I could load .38 Specials for five cents a round and .44 Specials for seven to eight, and I liked the big thunder. Now it costs four times as much to load, I am lazy, and my hands like low recoil when the arthritis flares up so I have picked up some nice .22s and I look forward to shooting them more. I have a Henry pump, a Marlin lever action 39A, and a few handguns. I can't even dream about shooting like Gunrunner or North Country Gal but I enjoy shooting, especially handguns. I have not really shot rifles much since the Jr ROTC rifle team. That was the stone age. Post anywhere, whatever the caliber! It's all welcome. My favorite .22, S&W Mod 17 ![]() Last edited by Machinist; 10-26-2013 at 08:36 AM. |

TGR and NCG are feeding my I want one itch for target grade 22 hanguns. I do have a Henry 22 Mare's Leg partly influenced by 303. That I absolutely love to shoot. I am working on a homemade sling for it to improve my offhand shooting stability with it. My other little 22 is a Ruger SR22. It is a fun little gun but I wish I had saved up a little more and gotten A MarkII or III. I am looking for good used ones at a reasonable price.

Senior Member Joined: Jan 2013 From: northern wisconsin Posts: 6,001 | Don't you believe it. Not sure where that one came from, but, if anything, the new production Mark IIIs, these days, are a tighter fit and can be very daunting for a first time Mark user to get apart. I know, because I've done a half dozen of these in the last few years, though it is very much hit and miss as far as one individual gun to the other. If anything, the older ones tend to be looser and easier to get apart. Not to worry, though, I'll be glad to help you if you get stuck.

That is why I value your advice you have some hands on time with these pistols and you don't pull your punches. I would like to know your opinion on the Browning Buckmark. A LGS has a Pro Target model with a 5.5" inch barrel listed in very good condition with original box and paperwork, two magazines for $379. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I'v never used a Buckmark and I'll say so, up front. I haven't used one because I don't care for aluminum/poly framed target pistols. For heavy range use, I very much prefer steel for the weight and balance, not to mention long term durability as well as looks. Take any Ruger Mark (22/45s being the exception) and you have a gun you could literally run over with a truck and they would still fire. No other 22 autoloading pistol has a better track record for a usable lifespan, either, not even the high dollar stuff such as the S&W 41, High Standards and so on. In fact, it is impossible to wear out a Ruger Mark to the point it cannot be salvaged with the replacement of a few simple parts. Some of these guns have gone hundreds of thousands of rounds without any replacement parts needed. The Buckmark, though, has a good reputation as a shooter as do the S&W aluminum framed 22 pistols. I'm sure you'd be pleased with the way they shoot and the prices are quite reasonable. Beyond that, can't give you any in the hand review, sorry to say. |

Someone threaded a Colt Woodsman? They ought to be hung. Ouch. ![]() The Woodsman is a classic, classic pistol, but it is a Colt and you will be paying a premium for that name, alone. Parts, magazines and such will be very pricey, too and some parts will be very difficult to impossible to get, should you ever need them. As a lover of fine autoloading pistols, I'd love to have a Woodsman and I may yet add one to the collection, but, to be honest, going with a Ruger Mark, even an old Mark, is still going to be more practical and definitely more affordable. |

I know its not like owning a Mark but I like my 22/45 with the bull barrel. Its a very accurate pistol and will eat anything I feed it. I just can't run over it with a truck.

I used to have just a few .22s. Then my grandson came to live with us. The list has grown: Ruger Bearcat Ruger Single Six Conv Ruger Mk II Target Ruger Mk III .22/45 Walther P22 S&W M&P .22 GSG 1911 .22 (2) Marlin 39A Marlin 70PSS Henry H001 Henry H001T Savage Mk II FV-SR Remington 572 BDL Remington 581 Remington 582 (List doesn't include a few .17 and .22 Mag rimfires) Good grief! I didn't know we had that many until I started making this list. ![]() |
