Show your .22 target rigs.

I am wanting to get a full fledged target .22 pistol. I am interested in what my fellow ingoers have done. In my mind I see a buckmark with a holographic sight(subject to change depending on the deal). Any tips and pics would be appreciated.

I have a Buckmark and at one point I had two. However, I would never call a Buckmark a full fledged target pistol.

Though, in my mind a target pistol is what you use for bullseye or NRA standard pistol. For that, my first choice would be a 1911 with a custom trigger, target grips and a marvel conversion kit on it.

If I were to buy a dedicated gun, I would look at a Pardini SP, Benelli MP 90 or MP 95, Hammerli SP-20, Walther GSP and the like. Probably from Larry's Guns in Maine. I might get a an S&W 41 but I doubt it because I do not think they are worth the money.

A browning target pistol yes it is a buckmark.

A ruger target psitol., Yes it is a mark II.

toz 35

The Contender has a super 14 bbl on it right now. It'll shoot dime size at 50 yds if I will. The 10" bbl shoots pretty darned good but not quite as good as the 14". The Ruger and the S&W 41 are both capable of inside a nickel at 25 yds.

I had a Toz35 that I just couldn't shoot very well. Was gonna rebbl to 17 hm2 but I let somebody talk me out of it for more than I had in it. I can't speak to the other imports, though I've heard some awfully good things about Pardini, Morini and such. I've also owned a buckmark Varmint with the long bbl which wasn't a bad gun. It was accurate enough. Just didn't fit me very well.

I guess target gun was a poor description. I want to build this gun as a cheap and fun race gun. Cheap to shoot and accurate. Something that I could improve the trigger on and try different optics easily. Thanks for everyones help.

 

[snuffy33]

Here's one way to get started.

 

[rugertoter]

Can't go wrong with any of the Rugers.

In that case, considering the availability of parts, mods, etc....a Ruger Mark III is going to be your best choice. The 22/45 might also work, but there are fewer options for customization, trigger, etc.

That being said, if you do not like the grip angle of the Mark III, the Buckmark is a fine choice. I have one that I use for Steel Challenge, NRA International pistol and silhouette shooting. One caveat is there are fewer options for trigger mods, though you can get a rail for the top, longer barrels and grips. Avoid the Camper model - the sight adjustments are not as precise and the trigger on the one I had was not as good as some of the pricier models.

Here is what I have done to mine.... is as accurate as I can shoot... which isn't saying a whole lot. But I have put groups of 10 within 1" from 10yrds easy. Meets my needs for .22 steel fun!!!!

I have a High Standard citation with 5 1/2 inch bull barrel that I have shot loads of scores above 295 with and a few possibles thrown in. Bought it new.
I also have another Citation with 7 1/4 inch fluted barrel with the muzzle brake and both weights. We refer to that as fully dressed.
I also have a 6 1/2 inch Field King that I have shot wood chucks out to about 90 yards and it will also shoot 1 inch groups at 25 yards with about any ammo. It was made in the late fifties.
I love my High Standards. Have owned about 60 or so in my life. Wish I still had em all....John

I have not figured out how to post pics, yet. If they can only be loaded from photobucket, I will not do that. Won't put pics of my guns on there. Can they be posted directly from My Pictures file on my own puter?....John

I would suggest the Ruger MKII Competition or Government Competition, any of Browning Buckmark Target models or a S&W Mod 41. The Smith is not cheap but it is as accurate as most people can shoot and will last you a lifetime. I love mine. I also like my Rugers, Colt Ace and Colt .22 Conversion Unit. They all are capable of more accuracy than I am.
