Both are quality pistols. It's a Ford vs Chevy decision. Either gun will outlive you, so choose the gun your children will enjoy.
I would NEVER choose a gun based on what I see others using on the range. If I did I would own pot metal craptastics like the Walther P22. The takedown & reassembly of the Ruger won't be a problem after you learn how to do it. |

Love my Ruger Mk II Limited edition Olympic Target pistol. A great shooter. Its a little more difficult to clean, but its worth it.

I actually have (and love) both.
My answer to your question is: YES
Actually if I had to choose only one: I'd take the Browning. Both shoot better than I do, but the Browning is more comfortable for me to shoot. |

Just purchased a Mk II and can confirm I had the worst time getting back together - especially after disconnecting the sear without knowing.... I assume you would want to have more magazines so price/availability might be a factor.

If you ever plan on putting a suppressor on it then go with the Buckmark. To put a can on a Ruger it costs a lot more because the barrel part of the receiver and serial numbered. On the Buckmark you can thread the stock barrel or get a threaded barrel and then run any 22LR can.

browning, it is much easier to clean than the ruger. Other than that, it's personal choice, they are about the same.

I really like my Buckmark. It's accurate, easy to clean and has a great trigger. That said, you can't go wrong with either one.

Are those the standard grips on a Buckmark? Do they help you grip the pistol higher? I do have a tendency to grip too low. mm |

I'd go with the Browning. I shoot it way better than I shoot the Ruger. YMMV.

Browning. Much better and comfortable grip angle, balances better. Ruger's i have tried tend to be muzzle-light and have creepier triggers.
How many mags do you intend to buy? I've gotten along fine with two for years now. |

Depends on what ammo you run. I've found it is worth buying a little better grade ammo for the Mk 1 just because its a little cleaner than most of the cheap bulk box stuff. With the cheap stuff it seems to need to be cleaned a lot more often. |

both
that being said, I shoot my mk II 22/45 almost exclusively. I disassembled it last weekend and it wasnt that bad, once you get used to it. 22/45 barrel threaded by tornado tech, buckmark barrel by tacsol

I ended up getting the Ruger from Bass Pro. It was on sale for $249, a 22/45 model with the 5.5" heavy barrel and adjustable sights. I ended up paying just a bit over $200 for it, I had a lot of points saved up that I had forgotten about.

I got my first MkII before there was such a thing as the internet and it frustrated the hell out of me figuring out how to reassemble it after cleaning - the disassembly is not hard. Once I figured it out and did it a few times it was not a problem. I have a MkIII now and step by step instructions are easy to find online so the frustration level went way down. Both great guns that my grandchildren will enjoy one day.

If we were talking about a MK II, I would say Ruger but the MK III sucks balls in my opinion. It has a magazine disconnect that does not allow the mags to drop free and a chamber loaded indicator that was responsible for a recall in early units. Ruger, as they often do, jumped the shark on the MK III-I don't own "PC" firearms. Get the Buckmark.
