    What are your reasons for favoring one over the other?
    For shootability the MK series but if I were stranded with my choice of the two, I'd lean on a wheel-gun any day.

    The older rugers are awesome.

    I have an early 70's 10/22 that has to have 50,000+ rounds through it too, it's just amazing!

    CCI MiniMags, provided they shoot well in your MKIII
    I know what hunts you.

    If I Had To Hunt With Lr Ammo Out Of A Pistol I'd Go Cci Smg Because Of The Flat Meplate (more Initial Shock) And Fairly Soft Lead Alloy Make It Acceptable. Remember , Mostly Any 22 Mag Ammo With Pistol Velocities Will Be A Pretty Good Small Game Getter. The Same Is Not True With Lr Ammo. If You Must Use A Pistol To Hunt Small Game Chose Your Ammo Wisely...BUT Lr Out Of A Rifle Is Pretty Good Stuff. Lr Out Of A Pistol Or Revolover Is Anemic At Best.

    Oh come on. You could have kept us guessing by saying that when you post from your police cruiser it just comes out that way. Well, as long as the blue lights are on.

    Gentlemen, ladies, thanks to your advice, I am the proud new owner of a Ruger Mark III Target Competition model! Got the SS, got the 6 7/8" slab barrel, got the adjustable rear sight, got the fancy target grips. Very pleased so far!

    Now... if only I had a place to shoot the dang thing!

    PS - My favorite quote from the manual:

    "The foregoing may give the impression that reassembly is difficult, but it is quickly and easily done once properly learned."

    LOL!

    That's what it said in the instructions for my heart/lung machine. And my doughnut fryer.

    Good choice Sgt. I took delivery of my plain Vanilla mark III on Monday and last night I ran 200 rounds through it (Indoor range). Very happy is what I would call myself. I ran CCI's, Some Qguila Interceptor, and 5 rounds of Piney mountain tracer and 50 of hyper X hollow points and not a single stove pipe or mis-fire. It looks like it will eat anything. I got 2 extra magazines for a total of 4. Those tracers are fun! Think I want to have the trigger worked on though.
