Author Topic: MOST ACCURATE 'SPORTING' .22 PISTOL? (Read 4060 times)

Okay, this one will probably set off a world-class debate (argument?

)

What's the most accurate .22-caliber pistol or revolver you've ever fired?

My first vote would have to go with the Ruger standard semi-auto, but it's a photo finish with the Browning Buckmark, and I'd say coming in a damned close 2nd place on either account would be the Smith & Wesson Model 41.

I got a Ruger at a gun show last summer, and the damn thing is simply phenomenal. It's a better gun than I am a shooter, for darned sure.

I will second the rugers. I have three of them and all will exceed my abilities, and they are a blast to shoot.

I will also go with the Rugers. Absolutely accurate, and reliable.

I have a Ruger Mk III Target that is very accurate.

As an accuracy buff, I have a Ruger MKIII Competition that is fantastically accurate. With a 2X Leupold mounted on it, 5 shot groups at 60' (longest distance possible at the old Morton Gun Club) off a bench rest using CCI Mini Mags will measure down around .25". Sometimes a little bigger, sometimes a little smaller. Its tough measuring center to center when it is one chewed out hole.....

A couple friends and I used to shoot togather there regularly about 3 hours every Thursday evening for many years until one passed away. When I bought this pistol and brought it out between the 3 of us we had over 20 different types of 22 LR's. None of us were surprised to see the CCI's shot the best, though all shot well. None went over 3/4" if I recall correctly. But the Mini Mags were head and shoulders above all the other manufacturers.

I've had dozens of 22 pistols over the past 35 years but none have been quite as accurate as this particular pistol.

That's funny, I was going to say Ruger MarkIII, but he said sporting, so I think the Mark III may not count.

Colt Diamondback, Highstandard Supermatic Citation, but i have to admit the Ruger is the best bang for the buck.

For me the browning buckmark but I haven't shot some of the other guns mentioned.

Ruger MKII with anything that is made by CCI.

I will take the buckmark any day, add a tactical solutions barrel and you have one sweet shooting .22.
