It's still hard to beat a Ruger Mark series though...

You beat me to it. With a little trigger work, some custom grips, a
barrel weight, and a red dot sight, you'd have a really first class
target gun. One of the guys I shoot against on Wednesday morning has
a Mark III tricked out like that and he's always in the top 3.

Next question - Which one, or are they all pretty much the same?

I really don't know. Lacking any additional info, I would probably
pick this one:

Price: $329.95 Ruger 10101 MKIII512 Mark III Target 22LR 5.5"
10+1 Black Syn Grip

I suspect that if you Google around a little you will probably find
some opinions out there. I have no knowledge at all of the newer
22/45 but the Mark III is certainly tried and true.

I hear they are not the easiest to strip for cleaning.

Easy to strip. A bitch to reassemble!


Well, I went with the Walther. Will give a report on its reassembly
when I get it.



The Rugers are easy to reassemble if you follow the simple directions on
the many youtube videos dedicated to that subject. It took me less than
10 minutes to reassemble my Mark III the first time, and a lot less
since then. I doubt I break it down more than once or twice a year.

One of the attractions of the Rugers is that the sight picture remains
constant...there's no external slide on which your sights are mounted
cycling.


One shouldn't have to follow directions on 'many youtube videos' to
disassemble a firearm. But, that's just an opinion.
