Personally I've had good luck with Ruger.

I have a MK II with a 10" bull barrel that I mounted a Leupold scope to that's scary accurate. I've owned it over twenty years now and have yet to have a problem with it. Ruger stopped making the MK II a few years ago, but there are lots of used ones on the market with low mileage and for good prices.

I've owned a number of .22 wheel guns, and still have a Huntsman, but in my experience nothing has ever compared to the MK II in terms of accuracy.

I've always thought the Rugers were just super cool looking and fun to shoot (especially w/ suppressor ) I've always shot a buddy's though, so I've never had to clean one.

Both ZYA_LTR and I have Beretta .22's. Although they aren't as popular as others, I know that it takes whatever I feed it. I've had 2 FTF's in 4 years of owning it.

I really wanted a Sig Trailside, but I just didn't have enough money at the time. It would have went along really well with my other Sigs.

A buddy of mine just picked this little gem up. It's a Sig P220 frame with a Factory made .22lr upper. It will also use the .45 ACP upper. Best of both worlds.

The finest .22 target pistol ever made in the USA is the High Standard, especially the Hamden, Connecticut made models.!!
The only USA made pistol to win Gold in the Olympics.

Well I pulled the trigger on Friday and bought a new 22. I got a Browning Buck Mark 5.5 Field. This is one sweet gun and is it ever accurate. I immediately got it out when I got home and ran 8 clips of rounds through it. I especially like that this model comes with a rail on top to mount a red dot scope to.

Thanks to everyone who posted for all your advise.

I will try to get a pic posted here soon.

I have a 5.5 field barrel in getting cut to 4" and threaded for my suppressor. I can't wait to get it back.

The Buckmark is a great gun.

Nice picture Roland. I have a Buckmark as well and love it!
