Find a used Mk II or get a new Mk III
Ruger pretty much makes the .22 semi that all others are judged by. |

Buckmark
But like any firearm, handle it, shoot it, then make the decision for yourself. |

Used Mk II. The Mk III is the "lawyered up" version of the Mark II.

Could you explain that....whats differant? loaded chamber indicator added key lock added magazine safety I think last shot hold open was added, but that might have been on the MkII as well. nothing really there that is affecting accuracy or reliability 
personally i'd reccomend that you figure out what features you need first. You want to hit targets at 50yrds? I'd start thinking about barrel length and weight. Both the Ruger and Browning can be had with pretty long barrels. Browning even has a distinct "sillohette" (sp?  ) model.
The buckmarks tend to be lighter than the comparable ruger. A 6" S&W 41 could do it, but I don't think they get any longer than 6". Both the browning and rugers go out to at least 10" Sounds like you know what sights you need. |

I might just look at the Brownings at our Local Academy Sporting Goods but online could save some tax money. Yeah i had a Ruger MK2 the Government mod i when in Air Force in New Mexico think 5 7/8 barrel and had a scope and shot silhoutte and had not used it long ago and a freind bought it. |

Ruger 22/45 1st, MKII or III, if no deals on a Ruger, try a Buckmark.

This
S&W Model 41, the 5" barrelled guns seem more popular than 7" barrelled guns now, newer versions can be easily adapted for optics. Go here for sources and shipping to your dealer. http://www.gunbroker.com |

Easy peezy to mount it (2 screws, blue loctite) and then mount just about any rail-able optic. |

I used to have a Ruger MK 2 Government mod way back and loved it.I would like to get another 22LR semi auto but need input on what you guys have been happy with. Use would be strictly punching holes in paper targets out to 25 or 50 yrads.Might be interested in a scope on it too.Also good online dealers i could have it shipped to a local FFL. The Ruger is still the king. Although I also really love my S&W 22A bull barrel. But the Ruger can't really be beat. ETA: Should've read the thread Like your new piece
