Ruger MK IV or Browning Buckmark

[Tinman]

Looking at the Ruger MK IV competition and the Browning Buckmark Target. Any advice or recommendations?

The Browning is a little slicker, but the Ruger is as venerable and modifiable as the 10/22, probably more accurate as well... they dominate the .22 pistol world.

Both are great. I have the Buckmark and would like to get the Ruger.

Lots more mods / parts available for the Ruger.

I have the older Ruger Mark 2 Gov Target model. If I miss what I'm shooting at I know it isn't the guns fault. It's my favorite shooter.

Ruger MKIV + Volquartsen =

I shot a Ruger MK II bulled barrel on a bullseye league for 11 years. I customized it with many Volquartsen parts and thumb rest target grips and that gun shot like no tomorrow. It was hands down my all time favorite target pistol. I also own a Buckmark URX target model and although it’s a very fine target pistol IMHO it still doesn’t compare to the Ruger.

I've owned Ruger II, III & IV; 22/45 and the Mark series. Like the Energizer Bunny. The Mark series has lots of aftermarket upgrades and mods both for performance and good looks.

Ruger mark 4 all day long. They dominate the competition circles for a reason. If you get a mark 4 and don’t care for the grip angle you can just swap for a 22/45 lower no problem. Easy 1 button takedown that makes cleaning a breeze. Huge aftermarket support for customization options including big names like volquartsen or tandenkross

I recently came into this little beauty. 10 5/8” bulled barrel. I plan on ordering soon the Volquartsen target kit upgrade and grips.

Well I went to Johnson’s and ordered one. Got the MK IV Comp. Got a great price. Should be here in a week or so.
