Great gun! Super accurate and comfortable to shoot. They seem to do best with better ammo like CCI's various offerings. I love these pistols!

It's a Ruger Mark III, what else could I say about Ruger quality? Another efficient and expedient order from BGS. Purchased at an excellent price from a Team Bud's Reserved listing on 90-day Layaway. I appreciate the program, the ACH option takes time to process through but worth the wait for the 3% discount.

Great gun. As everyone will tell you, this thing is a PITA to take down, but you knew that going in. It'll loosen up eventually and I'll get used to the procedure. Nice accuracy. I bought a cheapo reflex sight for it and the kids/family love unloading on clay pigeons at the range. Luckily, 22lr has become a lot more accessible around here over the last year or so. If you don't have the Ultimate Cliploader for this yet, do yourself a favor and get one. Worth every penny, makes reloading a breeze.

The standard in 22LR target, outstanding gun I had a 2 MarkII in stainless I got to have the black one . magazine disconnect sucks but overall great gun

This is a great pistol. Very smooth, soft trigger, almost zero recoil. It comes with a rail to put up a scope, red dot, not any interest to me but a good add on to come with it. Two clips a pretty beefy lock for the bolt, safety first. Safety is alot with this little guy, it also comes with a sorta hex key that u can crank down to lock the bolt from moving, not really seen something like that before but this is the first rimfire ive been around. First time I shot it, I put about 150 rounds through it, silky smooth, no jams, no problems. I bought this particular rimfire to teach my sister, girlfriend, and a couple buddies that are scared of the bang bangs. I have fired the Ruger SR22 but didnt care for the heavy trigger pull on the first shot in single action. The ONLY thing that I will 'ding' this pistol is the sights. Front and rear sights are completely black. I will be putting some kind of replacement fiber optic, high vis front sight.

The Ruger on first glance looks pretty good. It has a nice look and seemed to be fit very nice. The bluing was smooth and even. I had a mk 1 bull for 35 years that very nice too. I traded this back to the orginal owner my best friend so I wanted another. The real let down for me was in the trigger pull which seemed to be one of the worst of just about any gun that I have ever fired. I have already purchased a trigger kit from Volquartsen to improve this. The Ruger mk 3 is still an excellent buy for a lifetime purchase of a fine firearm.

I initially loved this pistol. I wanted to get into NRA conventional pistol competition, and this seemed to be the perfect blend of price and a reputation for reliability. Now, as any owner of a Ruger will tell you, these things are a pain to take apart. I knew that going in. What I wasn't prepared for was the shoddy machining. The mainspring pin on my Ruger was so tightly fitted to the weapon that when my attempts to remove the mainspring housing actually stripped the bluing off of the pin! I called Ruger (who have excellent customer service, by the way), and sent the pistol back. I got it back a few weeks later, and all was well for a while. I have now fired approximately 1500 rounds through the pistol. It isn't the most accurate, but it certainly gets the job done in learning you the basics of how to properly grip and exercise trigger control for Bullseye. I'm not looking for a Pardini SP, for heaven's sake. I have maintained it well, and I decided recently to upgrade the grips to the Volquartsen Volthane Grips. That's when things started to really scare me. As I took off the grip screws with an allen wrench, all four of them stripped. ALL of them. I hadn't noticed this before because I had never messed with the grips before. While I was eventually able to dig into the side of the top screws and use that leeverage to remove them, the bottom ones had to be removed by twisting the grips, which I discovered were made of thin, cheap plastic. They never felt that way when I was shooting the gun because they covered the steel frame, but as soon as I tried to remove them it became shockingly apparent how bad they were. I actually snapped the left grip in half to remove the bottom part because the bolt release interfered with my ability to spin the grip screw. After I installed the Volthane grips, problems began occuring, including a difficulty in removing magazines, and, more scarily, the trigger wouldn't "break" correctly, but WOULD fire in spite of the magazine disconnector safety (it was just mushy as heck)! I finally took a look inside the gun with a flashlight and felt a fear that anyone who has installed an accurizing kit has probably felt (I haven't, by the way. But you become pretty intimately acquainted with the inside of the gun when you do that.) Due to the difference in the grips, the sear pin and the sear itself had slipped out of alignment, and were sitting crooked in the frame. I was very lucky that I caught this before actually firing the weapon, as I likely would have destroyed the sear spring and possibly other parts as well. After realigning the sear and sear pin with a dental probe (the sear pin is held in place solely by the grips, by the way), I have placed the gun on the back shelf. I am afraid to use it now and am actively searching for a higher quality .22lr for competition shooting. This is a good beginner gun, if not messed with too much. But Ruger's manufacturing techniques have either gone downhill or I got a real first-class lemon. If you are looking for a good entry-level Bullseye gun, consider picking up a used Browning Buckmark or perhaps one of the older Mark IIs. I don't dispute that the Ruger model delivers a good accuracy for the price, but my Mark III scares me. Caveat emptor. You may just get what you pay for.

This is a beautiful pistol. The first thing I did was replace the ridiculous plastic LCI (loaded chamber indicator) with a Tandemkross LCI steel insert and the magazine disconnect assembly with a stainless hammer bushing. This makes the pistol much more akin to the MK II and it performs beautifully. Both these mods came to $30 and it's not that hard to do. After taking it to the range today and going through about 200 rounds without any issues, I am happy as a Lark! Great gun! And of course Bud's was excellent too.

Great little gun. I've wanted one for years… well, almost 20, but it was never a high priority. Anyway, well built. Came in a nice case with two mags, weaver rail, and trigger lock. Required no sight adjustments. Shooting on a rest I put the first three shots through the 10 ring in a standard NRA slow fire pistol target at 25 feet, so the gun can certainly do its part. Such a fun gun to shoot, not just for the inexpensive ammo, but the focus and concentration required. Totally different style of shooting than what I've been doing for years with various self-defense handguns (Glocks, 1911s, Berettas). I'm very much enjoying this new aspect of shooting and I think it has improved my self defense shooting. Trigger is fine out of the box, but could use some adjustment for length and some creep. I may look into the aftermarket trigger upgrade. I also find I lose the all black sights on a standard NRA target, such that I have to move the sights off the target onto the backing to "reacquire" the sight picture. I picked up a hi-viz front neon sight for 30 bucks. We'll see if that help. Overall, it was just what I expected it to be from a Ruger. This is my second purchase from Bud's and it is hard to beat their pricing, especially compared to the local gun shop, which simply refuses to deal and practically sells guns at MSRP. Their loss, Bud's gain, and my gain. Trouble free transactions and quick shipping are making Bud's my goto "gun store."

It is such a beauty. Hefty but well balanced in hands. It feels lighter than it is actually weighted. Take it to the range and put 200 rounds thru it. It just simply works. Buds got a little bit delayed due to the winter weather. Once the weather was cleared out Buds shipped as fast as always. Will buy more from Buds.

It's a Ruger MK III. That means accurate, good build quality and as advertised for fair price. Bud's has come a long way with their business model too. I highly recommend doing business with them. Absolutely no issues. Happy with entire deal.

Best .22 pistol you will ever buy... Excellent shooting gun. Also comes with 2 mags

What an amazing pistol! This Ruger is hefty and feels good in the hand. I was amazed at the accuracy with open sights during my bench testing at an indoor range. I had limited ammo because of the shortage of .22 LR choices, but this pistol seemed to digest the cheap Remington Thunderbolt ammo just fine. I had no failures, but I will say it is frustrating loading the magazines with the tiny rounds and my sausage fingers. Then I topped it with a Red Dot and seemed to take the sport out of shooting is was so easy to hit. I've heard field stripping can be detailed the first couple of times, but I haven't tried yet. Sweet little pistol and I hope to have many years of plinking and practice with it.

Very good gun. Accurate. Built like a tank and if you have a Mk.II, you WILL like the side-button magazine release. Loaded Chamber indicator does not interfere. I'd recommend this gun in a heartbeat to any new shooter or experienced one.

Six days ordered till in my hands. Ruger Mark III shoots excellent, ran 100 rounds no problems what so ever, what a deal!!

This gun lets me enjoy shooting a lot, which I simply can't afford to do with centerfire guns. I bought this to have fun plinking using the least expensive ammunition I can find. I'm quite amazed by it's reliability after a year of ownership. I really don't like the fact that ruger added a magazine disconnect safety, the internal key lock, and the loaded chamber indicator. I also this all warnings stamped into the gun make it look ugly, but I don't know if the manufacturer is maybe forced to do that to sell them in certain places. Anyway, because the magazine safety makes the magazines difficult to seat and remove, I'll replace it with an aftermarket hammer bushing. This isn't a simple gun to take apart, so I tend to watch videos on youtube and follow along as other people reassemble theirs. Besides that, however, I really enjoy the way this .22 performs.

An absolutely trouble free purchase of an absolutely trouble free handgun. Works very well with old ammo, new ammo, cheap ammo and pricey ammo (if you can get them ) This is the perfect gun if you want to practice a lot. Its accurate, dependable, minimal recoil, but beware if you miss a lot...its probably not the guns fault. Cleaning requires watching a you tube video and a little patience.

I received the gun at my FFL within a week after ordering. Buds offered a competitive price on a gun that was hard to find in stock. This was my first .22 pistol purchase and I read a lot of reviews before buying. After receiving the Mark III, I disassembled it for cleaning and replaced the hammer bushing. There were some small shavings from machining to clean out. There is a very important key to disassembly and reassembly. My first reassembly was difficult, until I came across a Youtube video explaining "the dingleberry” and “the cheese" - referring to the hammer and hammer strut. After I discovered the placement of “the dingleberry” and “the cheese”, the disassembly/reassembly process became very easy. In order to disassemble/reassemble, I used a rubber mallet, a paperclip and a wooden dowel made of birch for a punch. I have fired 2800 rounds through the pistol within 2 months. After the initial 300 rounds of smooth shooting, I started experiencing failures to eject (FTE) every 1/150 rounds. As I continued to shoot, I would get a FTE every 100 rounds or less (with regular cleanings). I replaced the extractor with a Volquartsen extractor and I have had zero FTE within the last 1000 rounds. The stock front and rear sight are black and I had trouble focusing with a black on black sight. I switched the front sight to a Hi-Viz fiber optic, which is much better than stock. Shooting with the open sights is fine, but I am ready to try a red dot. I ordered a Bushnell TRS-25 that will be arriving soon. I will offer up a few random suggestions that have made my Mark III experience better; I use Hogue rubber grips with the thumb rest. I use the Ultimate Clip Loader to quickly load magazines at the range. Besides Hoppes Elite, I use Powder Blast and CLP to clean the internals. The stock Mark III Target is a nice gun, but with some aftermarket parts, you can customize it to your liking. I would suggest a few searches for common upgrades that people make to the stock gun in order to improve performance. This is a great gun and I enjoy shooting it.

Super fast shipping, and a real solid pistol.

My first .22 Pistol, not my first pistol however. This is pretty much the plinker everyone should own. The rail is some serious fun when you add an optic to the pistol. 10 shots, 2 mags, and a great look. The quality is really awesome for the price. So happy to have made this purchase.

this gun is great, 5000+ rounds in 2 weeks no problems with the gun just ammo, im am amazed at how accurate it is!!!!! would recommend to anyone looking for a great plinker or target shooter.

Just had to add more info about the Ruger Mark III Target: I've now fired at least 3000 rounds through the gun, and it has NEVER jammed! I added my scope rail and a cheap red dot and it's dead on at 25 yards! I love this gun! Field stripping may seem difficult for some, but these guns are built like tanks and as long as you follow directions, field stripping and assembly aren't difficult at all. I received a package in the mail the other day from Ruger, and it was a very nice baseball cap with the Ruger emblem along with a Thank You signed by the CEO of Ruger! I've never received anything from any other gun manufacturers to say thanks - just recall notices. I will happily buy a Ruger 1911 if Bud's ever gets them. Both great companies!

I can't remember how many Ruger pistols I've traded/sold to try something else. I had a Buckmark that jammed all the time. Bought the 22/45 Target hoping it would be better, and it definately is. Eats any kind of ammo, and is very accurate. Comes with two mags and sight rail. Very happy with Ruger and Bud's.

Love my MKIII. Very nice shooting and service from Buds was great. Thank you. The problems with take-down and re-assembly are vastly overstated. Just take a few minutes with the manual and consult the Google and YouTube and you will understand how the pieces need to fit and there is no problem. The gun was a little tight the first few times I took apart but after about the 3rd time, it goes really smoothly. A delite to shoot.

My first order through Buds, and I will likely do business with them again. The pistol is great, I'd heard stories of the Mark III jamming a lot but had no problem with bulk ammo. The accuracy is great right out of the box, and the pistol has a good feel to it. The only complaint I have is that it's extremely difficult to disassemble and reassemble the first couple times. I have NEVER owned a pistol that requires a rubber mallet to take apart. If you buy one, youtube is very helpful for field strip/assembly help. Anyway, a great pistol at a great price!
