22lr Ruger Vs. 22lr Sig......help me decide

[DanB]

I don't know why anyone isn't suggesting the ruger. Its a pretty good gun.

I own a Buckmark that gets abused to no end. Still get FTFs from time to time. two main causes are the top rail coming loose. Screws can back out. And ammo related failures.

THe first issue is not there on the Rugers.

Now my main reason for going with the Buckmark was the ease of replacing the barrel with something threaded. From the first pics I saw of Shot Show 2010 it looks like Ruger might be getting ready to release a prethreaded model. If they do, I'll definately buy one.

Of your two choices the choice is clear. Sig. Wait I mean Ruger.

Ruger for sure, I own a Ruger Mark iii hunter stainless with bull fluted barrel. I love mine, I would not trade or sell it for nothing. Go to a range and rent both see which one you like the best. Good luck

What's the benefit of the fluted barrel? Just a weight thing, looks? I'm gonna go with the bull or bull slabside at this point.

Also, is the only difference between the hunter and the target model essentially the sights?

Bull barrel rigidity with less weight. It gives a bit more surface area for cooling, but shouldn't be a big deal for a .22. I'm sure the look is a factor for many people too.

A small drop of red loctite solves this problem easily. I had the same problem with the top two loosening and a drop of loctite on each and after 1000 rounds...no loosening.

Ruger or Buckmark.


I won't buy another Sig. I got rid of mine. Polished the feed ramp (it helped) because it was a jammer.
