Buckmark or Mark 3?
« on: May 07, 2012, 08:54:23 PM »
I may get a 22 pistol soon and have narrowed these 2 pistols down to the 2 best options.  Which gun do you prefer?

Buckmark or Mark 3?

Both are great decisions, both have a lot of different factory options. Give the 22/45 a shot also.

Get the Buckmark, Rugers are junk.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Ruger all the way.  Except for the 22/45.  They're cheap.

They are both really good pistols.  I like how the buckmark feels better in my hand especially the URX gripped ones.  But if you change out the grips on the ruger it feels pretty good too (I have big hands so the grips are thin and small to me).  The ruger has a difficult take down mechanism.  I have had the browning be a little picky on the magazines though.  just my  :twocents:

I have both and the Buckmark is much more comfortable to hold, it just feels better in the hand plus it is very accurate. Your mileage may vary  :twocents:

From what I've heard here you can't go wrong with either.  I guess ill just go shoot them both and see which one I like better!  Thank you all for your input!

they are both good, but Buckmark is better, .22lr burn dirty, and leave alot of unburned powder, the big diference you will see between the two is how much cleaner the buckmark shoots and so much easier to clean. get a long one.

An important point of difference is that, with the Rugers, you'll need to go through an FFL or private transaction to get a TS aftermarket barrel, as the Ruger barrel is serialized.  You can get a Buckmark TS barrel OTC at retail stores or on the internet, similar to AR upper retail transactions (without FFL).

I have a 22/45 (older without replaceable grips), and it is accurate and enjoyable, but it is kind of a pain to reassemble after takedown. I want to get a Buckmark to compare the two.

My vote goes with the Ruger, but agree it's tough to take apart and clean. My favorite and most accurate .22 is a S&W Model 17 with a 6" barrel. Great gun!!
