Ruger 22/45 vs. Browning Buckmark

[Flyboy]

The Buckmark trigger beats the Mk. series hands-down. I need to thank my dealer again for steering me to the Browning over the Ruger.

I've been happy with my older model buckmark, but the ruger 22/45 in the Mark 3 version only felt good and shot well for me. I have shot an older mark 2 22/45 and was not impressed. If you are thinking of swapping barrels at any point in the future, the buckmark is a much better/easier choice.

Seems to me that the Rugers cost more if you get one that's not an entry level model, those seem to be priced pretty similarly. I went with the Buckmark for the very reasons Glocktogo stated. But they are both very good guns and will serve you well. Rent both and buy the one you like.

I've got a Buckmark and a Ruger Mark III and I prefer the Buckmark better because of the trigger. I don't even shoot the Ruger anymore, thats been relagated to the little ladies gun.

You better hope she doesn't see this or it might be yours.

As for me my Buckmark has been a favorite for a long time.
Seems I bought it in the early 80's.
Easy to point. Easy to pull. Eats anything. Less expensive. YMMV

I went with the Ruger, but would have no issues with either. I think it was a bit less than the Buckmark. I paid about $250 new for mine.

I like the Buckmark a little better. I think the Ruger is a fine pistol to, the Browning just felt a little better. I haven't been sorry

I bought my buckmark camper for 300 new but i think the same model now is like 400. Brought plenty of squirrels down with it and never regreted my purchase. Do all the Ruger 22/45's have the bull barrel? I bought the buckmark for mainly that reason... and the name of course.

The ruger is indestructable.
