Think I read you already have a Mark 3. I would put the Volquartsen trigger kit along with the Mark 2 bushing that removes the magazine safety. Do a little to the gun you already have and have a blast SC is a lot of fun with these little 22's as you can tell from the posts we all have favorites to play with.

Purchasing a red dot? purchase on of the better ones that will hold up. Not fun when a cheapy scope breaks on the second stage.

Good idea. I have an Ultra Dot on it so I really just need the parts to upgrade it. Does anybody know where you can buy higher capacity mags for the Ruber Mark lll 22/45?

I ran about 200 rounds through my s&w 617 with a cmore yesterday. This was the first time I have shot this gun since I got it back from Clark's for a trigger job and chamber polishing. It will shoot boring 2" groups at 50 with the cheap stuff. Bagged that is.

It's hard to beat a 617 for reliability, and once you learn to shoot a double action trigger they can be competitive with the autos.

I have the Ruger Mark III 22/45 with the Tactical Solutions upper and Volquartsen trigger. Also purchased a bushing from Sam up in Canada to bypass the magazine disconnect, best $11.00 I could have sent. There's lots of info on rimfirecentral.com I highly suggest it. Good luck

I am looking to disable the mag safety on my 22/45 LIte.

Care to share sam's contact information?

Thanks

For reasons unknown to me I couldn't edit my post...

I found SAMs contact information in the 22/45 forum on Rimfire Central. I will be adding the volquarsten a cursing kit at the same time as the mag safety removal.

[Hotchkiss]

S&W model 41. Absolute best out there.

The M41 is a sweet pistol no question, but on average I don't think they feed as reliably as the Rugers. The Rugers are less finicky about ammo and magazines plus they are also a lot cheaper...

Sams products are some of the best. Btw how do you like the Lite model?

I am really enjoying the LITE pistol. I need another 3 mags a c-more slide ride and a compensator still but building the parts up slowly now that the bushing and trigger kits are ordered.

The gun runs 100% on CCI standard ammo

I knew after I shot a rimfire match with that 22/45 hunter I was Hooked and would have one as soon as I could find one at the right price. I found mine almost 100$ below retail in a local gun shop, what a deal.

I am very pleased with the pistol. I will have to snap some pics once the comp is built and finished.

I am looking for the best 22 caliber gun for shooting steel challenge and fun shoot events that allow 22 caliber guns. I have looked at the Volquartsen guns and also have a Ruger Mk III that I could have work done on. I would prefer a local San Antonio gun smith to work on the Ruger. I want to have a red dot sight for sure on it. Any help and recommendations is appreciated.

The Captain

Well I bought a Volquartsen V 10 X and ran it one stage last Saturday. It ran flawlessly but the c-more I added was off a little. I am sighting it in tomorrow so I can shoot a steel match this weekend. I will let you know what happens.

I have a Ciener conversion and like the 15 round mags. I've not been able to find them recently. I am not aware of any excess capacity mags for the 22-45.

At the club where I shoot Steel Challenge many of the top rimfire shooters are using a Marvel Unit 1 conversion. Very nice. Otherwise among the rimfire shooters it is mostly Rugers and Buckmarks. I have a 22-45 with a Burris Fastfire II sight. I think I've had one malfunction.

[Frankl03]

I'm shooting a Ruger MkIII hunter. Its a great gun! I put in a VQ trigger and sear along with a Clark bushing to get rid of the mag safety. The trigger is a very smooth 2lbs. The mags fly out of the gun. Its very reliable with Federal bulk. I put a trs-25 red dot on it. Its a blast to shoot.

[The Captain]

Here is my new 22 steel challenge gun. At the first match everyone was kidding me about having a Star Wars Laser. I finished 5th out of 28 overall. I think I can do better the more I shoot it.

Volquartsen V-10X

[alecmc]

I've had great success with my 6 7/8" Ruger mark 2.

It's been absolutely flawless and is accurate as can be

If I ever move to rimfire open I'd look into the new 22/45 lite Ruger

+1, the 617 is addictive, there so much fun to shoot.

Volquartsen V-10X

Took it to a steel challenge and won first place overall. My first win in any shooting competition. I love this gun!

[cuzinvinny]

I compete in a local .22 rimfire action match as well as shooting steel challenge type matches with my model .41. As long as I keep the chamber clean, the gun runs 100%. I do plan on buying a new model 617 for both types of matches as well. There is just something special about shooting a revolver.

I would rather have a gun that runs 100%, than a tack driver that runs 99%.

[perrysho]

Steel challenge Class O-Rim I shoot a Ruger competition long flat side barrel & target grips, all Stainless Steel MK-lll. With a C-More red dot, click switch.

Would like to have a S & W Model 41 long barrel, target grips and trigger work is probally the best. JMO A friend has one, it's super nice. Hard to find. The newer ones are drilled & tapped for a weaver rail, the older models are not.

Shooting SC Five mags make it more better/handy/user friendly.

I shot a SC match today at our local club, 6 people on our squad shooting .22's. I don't think there was a single malfunction. Personally I'm shooting a Buckmark with a c-more and it is absolutely reliable using Federal bulk ammo from WalMart.
