Might want to try asking this in the rimfire section.
But either will work. I like my buckmark a lot.

If you want a .22 pistol that is very reliable, very accurate, quite durable and has an excellent trigger get the buckmark. If you want the proverbial “drop it off a cliff and it still works” get the ruger. But, right out of the box, the ruger’s trigger feels like it’s been dropped off a cliff already compared to the buckmark.

This is the summation of my own thorough reading but zero field experience.

From reading, my main problem with the Rugers is that the barrel and the receiver are one piece.

I have a buckmark & my friend has a ruger. Maint. is definately easier on my buckmark. If you want to upgrade the barrel the buckmark is cheaper. The ruger barrel can't be changed without getting a whole new top end. The top end is the registered portion of the mark III, so it would have to go thru an ffl if you bought it new or online etc... It's also much more expensive than just a simple barrel swap on the browning. On the upside, there are more aftermarket grip options available for the mark III.

Both are lots of fun & great shooters.

I have owned both in the last year and i like the buckmark better.It feels smoother to me. Both are great guns and will serve you well. Happy shooting.
