So, I was asked yesterday by my Father in Law if I had a recommendation for a 22 pistol, essentially for plinking. I gave him a quick rundown of what price ranges you could get into for what quality, everywhere from cheap S&W 22A, middle of the road with Ruger Mk3 or 22/45 and Browning Buckmark, up to expensive like the S&W 41, High Standard (many are simpler and less expensive), or Volquartsen builds. Also to note, any combat pattern pistol is basically out of the window, so no M&P-22 or 22LR conversion for a 1911.
So that being said, I think that a Ruger Mk3 or 22/45 would be about the best for him. Solid quality, right price, and if he gets one of the target models he can have a rail to mount a red dot on (he really got a kick out of that when he shot my dad's HS Victor set up for Bullseye). And if he wants there are plenty of upgrade parts for the Rugers via. Volquartsen and others.
So here's my question: Is there a better recommendation in the same price/quality point that I am overlooking because there is the big name RUGER blocking those options? Thanks for the help.
