I wished that shooting with such precision was as easy as you make it look! Awesome Video
Thanks for helping the channel Jason! It's much appreciated.
@@buffalosoutdoors
Thanks isn't necessary, I'm greatful to be able to help out and see some great content!
@@jasoncarpenter4116 if you put as many bullets down range on target as Buffalo has it will be just as easy, or at least I would like to think so
It is easy as long as you know and practice fundamentals,
@@ruststar I'm not saying that it doesn't help but, it requires much more than practice and fundamentals, at longer distances it takes a very steady hand and keen eye sight to shoot like Buffalo does!
I'm a sucker for 22 pistols. Smith 41, Buckmark's, Ruger Mark series... they're all awesome in their own right.
Why are these styles so much more reliable than .22 clones of other auto loaders? I have never seen a Ruger Mark have a malfunction.
@@macriggland6526 idk what 22 clones your talking about, but I'm very interested to hear.
@@joshuagibson2520 I just mean ones with a reciprocating slide like the Beretta 92/22, the Glock, and others with the reciprocating slide. Something ab them makes them less reliable.
@@macriggland6526 oooh okay. And 1911 style 22's and such. Conversion kits. It's because, in my opinion, that the MKIV is engineered from the ground up to be a kick ass 22. The others being conversions will have flaws or be ammo picky. It's one of those "you just have to take the good with the bad" type situations. Even the Glock 44 has had issues. It was never actually meant for a .22 from the beginning.
@@macriggland6526 don't get me wrong, some folks have 22 conversions and clones that work great, but it's just a gamble as to whether you get a good one or not.
Thank's Buffalo. Years ago I made the mistake of taking my ruger mark 2 down and many hours later, after spending a beautiful warm spring day inside trying to get it back together, I finally somehow got it back together and promised myself I would never make the mistake of taking it apart again. And I never have!
Wish I had a place to practice as much as you. Your a great shot.
I have a Mark Two target model since 1994 and never thought the need for an upgrade. The new ones are nice; I agree they come apart quick as whistle; but I learned how mine works and don’t mind doing it. I had friends who never could figure them out too. I use to put theirs back together for them when we went shooing together. Mine has a sweet trigger and I will put up with that little issue for that reason. Being people trade their old ones in for new ones makes finding an older one easy. The used ones cost less most times; for that reason it might be a good way to save some money. I doubt they shoot any better. If you are not Jerry Miculek it doesn’t make much difference how fast you can reload one. If you can’t take care of the problem with ten shots; they still make good clubs; being there so heavy. I once saw an old auto mechanic clean an old one he kept in a desk. He put it in a parts washing bin drenched with parts cleaner. Scrubbed it with a brush and blew it dry with an air hose. Then he went out back and empty the loaded magazine into an old burn barrel. He looked at me and said; well there Geniuses did you learn anything. He was an old Korean War Vet and I was sorry I told him his pistol was dirty; that is what I learned.✨🐃✨😂🚙
Those Korean Vets were tough cookies! Sounds like he didn't baby his gun either.
@Gizmo Carr - was thinking of writing something similar but you said it here so thanks. The new ones are nice but yup I learned on my markII bull barrel and while I'm tempted to upgrade I'll stay with the tack driver I have for now.
Nice looking pistol! They made reassembly a piece of cake with the IV. I always count on two or three tries to get my Mk II back together, they can be tricky sometimes.
Love your videos. Great shooting and your voice is soothing.
I'm one of those "brown bag" people that brought my Mark II to a gunsmith to have it put back together. Now, I clean the bore and spray the rest down with Ballistol, and let it dry. I'll have it deep cleaned every 10,000 rounds or so. That seems to work fine. I do the same thing with my Marlin Model 60 that I bought around the same time. No problems there either.
Thanks to THE Buffalo for the science lessons!! I have learned many valuable things throughout the years.
Now for the serious stuff...
Great video as always Buffalo!! Thanks for what you do brother.
Thanks Billy!
Thanks, Buffalo! Keep the .22 handgun videos coming! 👍
When my wife decided she needed an "optic" on her .22 pistol (after a man at the range let her shoot his Ruger with a red dot sight) we went looking for a new pistol. Her S&W 422 didn't make mounting an optic practical.
I tried to steer her into a S&W Model 41, but she was pretty much set on the Ruger. The first shot she fired with that man's pistol she drilled the little red spot in the center of the bullseye and she instantly "needed one of those"
She chose a Ruger MKIV .22/45 Target, different grip angle and larger, finger groove grips. At first she felt it was too heavy, it was much heavier than her 422. But now she agrees it helps her shooting. The S&W? Handed down to one of my sons for his kids to shoot.
She loves the Ruger! She shoots it well. It also occasionally fails to lock open on the last round. Not sure why. I have cleaned it and checked the operation of everything and it still happens. She has three magazines and they all do it sometimes. Not an issue for casual target shooting.
Beautiful piece of property there. Thanks for the show
Your friend has a great looking 22 pistol. Thanks for sharing Buffalo.
Such a great gun. I had a Gen 3 but couldn’t stand the takedown. The Gen 4 is so easy to clean and put back together. Also an accurate and fun gun. I approve of your choice 100%
Bar None!! The best 22cal hand gun you can buy !!!👍👍👍
First time I’ve seen one. Very nice. Like the improvements.
Buffalo, you've mastered the art of a gun review. But my favorite part of the video was the science lesson😄
LOL! I try to do educational content when I can 🤣
No denying that science!
Thank you. You’re a pleasure to watch. No BS or tough guy talk. If you did a review of the Ruger SR22 I would like to see it too.
I've had a MK I & MK II target models w/5.5" barrels for more than 30 years & love 'em. But last year bought 2 new MK IV 22/45's - standard 5.5" barrel & the Lite w/4" barrel. Mounted a red dot on the Lite which made it a pleasure to shoot. Ruger hit it out of the park on the take down! Sure glad to have these high quality .22's during the ammo shortage. These pistols handle the cheaper bulk ammo quite well.
Great review as always
I have a Mark I bull barrel made in 1976. The features have improved greatly since then.
Dang Buff, you sure can shoot. The way you handle that pistol is so natural, i wish we were still allowed handguns here in the UK. I had to hand my S&W 629 .44 mag, Springfield 9 mm and Browning Buckmark .22lr over here in the UK in '97 but that's another story.
Keep 'em coming mate.
On my MKIII 22/45 (5” heavy barrel) I put a high vis front and a shallow V back sight on it. Also a bushing without the mag disconnect. Shoots very good. As for takedown, the old style is all I’ve ever dealt with. No complaints and as I practiced with the polymer frame 22/45 I am fast on takedown and reassembly. No tool required as some claim on the 22/45 MKIII.
On a target pistol I would definitely remove the useless magazine disconnect safety. You'll be surprised how much the trigger improves. Most assuredly it would be gone on a tactical pistol.
Careful, Nutnfancy might come down from his compound to talk about acronyms and running-n-gunning.
Kidding aside, great lighthearted stuff. Kinda makes me want an AWC Amphibian II.
Love the Ruger Mark platform and thanks for the video. Learned to shoot with an early Mark ?? in the 70's. Not sure if the first ones were Mark 1 or just Mark. When old enough bought my own Mark II and use it to plink at the range with my kids. I see some other makers mentioned below and yup those are nice too.... This platform is meant for fun, practice, small game and some defense. An all around great choice
Thanks a brilliant video👍
My brother has a Mark II that I helped him take down. It was a massive pain! The Mark IV is a great improvement. Looks great as well.
Some of them are harder than others the way they fit together. I am sure I will get a bunch of comments saying how easy it is and yeah after you do it a bunch it does get easier but the MKIV is leaps and bounds better in that aspect. Glad you see it the same way I do!
Yup i have a Mark 1 (second edition) and its really tight fit, its an awesome shooter nonetheless!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
1 agree
Thank you
I have the MK4 target model and it wouldn't feed bulk pack or the notoriously finicky remington golden bullet.
I deleted the magazine disconnect with a washer and not only does it run everything reliably now, there was a major improvement on the trigger pull.
I always wondered why it took so long to simplify the takedown. My Hi Standard Sport King just had a button on the front. You could take it down, switch barrels, all in seconds. I think that 22 is over 60 years old. I am glad they finally addressed it.
Gotta get one of these … great video thanks
Have the mark 2...love it..
I have all 4 of the mark series and love them all
Good video. Thanks for sharing the main details of the Mark IV. Also great shooting. I also have a standard black Mark III, mags hang up for sure, but shoot well! Take care.
Shooting your own gun accurately takes time & practice. Picking up a borrowed gun for a quick review and shooting it accurately is a skill!
I love the feel of a Mk4. I have even taken a mess of squirrels with mine.
The easiest way to clean a Ruger Mark III is to take the grips off and spray it with gun cleaner. Then run a bore snake down the barrel. Dry it off and put the grips back.
This one is on the list!
Looks like a fun one, nothin like some good ole ruger 22 action on the range!
Dam, you have great aim 🤘🤘🤘 just got my 22/45 3 days ago. Holy crap, my favorite pistol i own now😮 i am a fan and thank you much for your reviews. Very informative
I have a mark 2 target model with semi contour bull barrel . Very accurate . Is a little pain to clean but I wouldn't think of getting rid of it.
Finally a semi auto that looks mechanically disadvantaged friendly. I had to sell a Walther P-22 Target because every cleaning session ended in a bag or parts to be taken to the gun club. I have a PPQ in my desk drawer in pieces at this time I've been planning to reassemble for a year. I'm sticking to revolvers and bolt actions from now on.
That looks like a winner, of a pistol to me.
Poor fungus, milk jug and coke bottle 😆😆😆…I picked up my MK IV standard a few weeks ago from Buds and it is awesome…thanks for your videos 👍👍👍
Just took my Ruger mark 2 bull barrel out yesterday to teach my cousin how to shoot for the first time. Haven't shot that thing in 15 years, forgot how fun it is.
Ruger makes some nice firearms. And nice shooting from you. Thanks for the video.
Love my little .22-.45
Great vid
Thanks for another great video. You even answered my question about cleaning. I *used to have* an older MK II I acquired when my grandfather passed away. That gun was a fantastic shooter, very accurate and fun, but man I hated cleaning that thing. It was a pain to beat all butt pains. I'm one of those people that actually enjoys cleaning my firearms after using them. I considered that MK II to be one of the worst I had at the time. I know some can be worse. It's funny, now I wish I never sold it, but that's me. Always ending up regretting trades or sales I make. 😎
Great shooting as always. Take it easy man, and stay safe. 😎
Thanks man. I'm sitting here shaking my head "yep" as I read your comment. I understand.
These are going for about $515 and up on gunbroker today. Have two of these. They're real good shooting guns. But then, they're also on the heavier side when compared to say a Mark IV 22/45 or even the 22/45 version of the Tactical .
Tack Tickle
Ok you got me with that title. At first I thought Ruger was coming out with a new pistol. I figured it out after I said the words to myself 😆
You Toob wouldn't let me publish it with it spelled correctly. I guess that's a bad word on gun videos or something. So I spelled it Tack Tickle and they let it ride.
@@buffalosoutdoors some of the rules just don't make much sense. But it's alright, I didn't mind laughing at myself a little.
Just got a reflex sight for Christmas..I already bought the rail .. can't wait to try it out and scope it in
Great Plinker, decent ammo, I have a ton of that Blazer. Bought it at Dicks when they were clearing out they’re ammo for like .3.6 cents a round. Super glad I did, it’s been pretty good, although a little dirty.
Great shot on that mushroom!😁😁 And the water jug! 😂🤣
Really enjoy your videos! You are an exceptional shot all joking aside. I have always had a love for .22 pistols whether autoloaders or revolvers. Thanks for sharing.
God bless all here.
I love my mark II.
I have the 22/45 tactical version. Its a pretty solid little pistol. Good shooter!!
The fungus stopper 🤣
I love my mark iv pistol's and got rid of my mark 3. The biggest improvement was the way they takedown. I hated taking down the older model's. I'm an old fart and my time left on earth is getting shorter, I don't want to waste time breaking down a pistol. Great video thanks! Sincerely Ruger Rich
Nice Video..I have owned a couple Older MarkII Pistols, some with the Bull Barrel Etc, Damn good shooters and yeah hell to Dis assemble, but they Improved the Newer Ones, almost got the 22/45, but something else caught My eye...Cheers !!
“the more holes you poke in it, the faster it drains out.” why i often ccw a ruger 22lr pistol in my humble life.
I own several Ruger mk iv pistols. There is one weak point in design at barrel rotation point for disassembly. The frame has been drilled at the pivot point and a spring with a rubber insert containing an encased metal bearing has been installed. The purpose is to keep tension on the barrel so it does loosen when the barrel is in place. I was getting ready to shoot and noticed the barrel had play and could be easily moved. I called Ruger and they sent me the spring and rubber sleeve which held the bearing. I removed the original and installed new assembly and the looseness went away. So if you notice barrel looseness that’s why.
Ordered a Mark IV Target from Bud’s. Looking forward to getting it. I’ve shot self-thrown skeet out of the air with a 1950’s era H&R .410 single-shot but I gotta say…you shooting a self-tossed pop bottle with a .22 pistol? That was bad-ass!! I’ll probably start out with 2 liter bottles and work my way down to 20 ouncers.
What a difference. I had a Standard Mk II years ago, and there's no way at my age I'd get it taken down and back together.
Thumbs up Buff
Sure wish I had a property like that!
"There's a fungus among us"🤣🤣
Well that was pretty in depth enough for me! 😝
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Your Marl IV Tactical and Mark III Hunter are very nice pistols. I personally like the Mark IV 22/45 myself. Just a grip angle thing with me.
Nice shooting Sir!
Had some shrooms pop up this year, within a couple days the biggest one was 13 inches across when I chopped it down!
I love rugers
I have that exact model also and it feels soooooooooooo good. JimE
Beautiful MkIII. Had to laugh when you talked about take down on it. Have the 22/45 which I took down 1 time. Might have said a few 4 letter words doing that. Great shooters & will usually run any ammo brand. Great shooting
I bought the Mark ll in 1985' 5.5 bull barrel shoots awesome, but always dread breaking it down to clean..lol
My favorite .22 ammo
That is a nice looking gun, and those grips are very attractive. Thank you for showing it off. I have a 22/45 Mark lV and I love it, I would like to get the Hi Viz front sight but I never think to order it when I have that extra money. 🥴
I think I have a spare one, I removed the HIVIZ front from my MKIII and replaced it with a target sight. If you want it go to the about section on my home page and get my email address, send me an address and I'll get it in the mail for you.
That’s a nice looking pistol
Hilljack makes a easy loader for these magazines. Saves your fingernails and hurt thumbs😊
Very nice. Many improvements over the years. This will be my next gun. When my wife finds out I'm blaming it on you. 😁👍
1st, thanks so much for what you do! I absolutely love the 22lr and what it is capable of. Would it be possible, if you have the equipment of course, to see some tests with long barreled rim fire pistols? I've seen folks use them to great effect on small game and targets. Always like your stuff!
I wouldn't mind doing those tests at all but I don't have any long barreled .22 pistols at them moment. Thanks for the suggestion.
Nice shooting Buffalo! Your Mark III Hunter is a beautiful pistol. I love my Mark III Target, shot it this morning at the family farm. I only was able to get through 21 rounds before I decided to leave the shooting shack and return to the house because the skeeters were so thick. Next time I need to bring my Thermacell along. I have a Mark IV but I am so used to my Mark III Target I tend to shoot it more often. I shoot the Mark III better than any of the many 22 pistols I own. Cleaning the Mark III is considerably more difficult, however with a little practice it's really not bad once you get the hang of it. The Mark IV is a breeze to clean and I do like the controls better on the Mark IV.
I hear you about them skeeters. I have a real problem with flies here. I went to the range today and they like to eat me alive.
Awesome pistol, especially if you've had to deal with earlier Mark series. But it seems to be a really good shooter, too. I wouldn't mind trading my mk2 in for one.
not me
I thought by the title you were shooting tacks and grazed (tickled) one. Lol. A good laugh either way.
You tube wouldn't let me spell it correctly. I uploaded it like 4 times before I figured out what the illegal word in the title was.
I have a 22 45 lite Mark 4 and Mark 3 ,magazines wouldn't work for me. Always another fun video. Be 😎 Buffalo
Buffalo,
Always enjoy your reviews. Could you comment on the pistol rest you used on the shooting table. Thanks!
What we have here is a really big Shew.
Sure I had a couple of the early models and I sold them. I hated to breakdown for cleaning which made it easy to sell. I cheated at cleaning I used Birchwood Casey Gunscrubber, and spray lub and called it good. Today I own Ruger SR .22 and I enjoy shooting it. Sorry Ruger I'm not in the market for another .22 that holds only 10 rounds.
Amen to that. I LOVE the mark series but I too am tired of the 10 rounders. Pistol and rifle both. Refreshing to see I'm not alone in this sentiment. Would be lovely if we could get a MKV with the only change being a capacity of at least 15-18 rounds. A slightly fatter grip wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
By far my favorite way to spread mushroom spores.
I've noticed that everybody has been busting out their 22 guns recently. I purchased a few new ones myself, Marlin 80, amrlin 995, marlin 60, arminius h7, and an old rohm rg66.
That Blazer stuff is pretty hot!
Once again... great shooting....I can't shoot my 22/45 mark4 as well as you shot in the video.
I found 22 stinger mags awesome . ..
I had a standard model I guess it was back in 1981. I took it apart and never got it back together. Cox gun shop here in town put it back together for me. I kept it till 85 and never took it apart again. It was more than my hillbilly brain could handle. As always great shooting and getting rid of that fungus😄
I bought a Ruger Standard Auto brand new in 1971 for $50. It has fired over 30,000 rounds of ammo and has never been apart.
I haven't fired it for over 20 years. Too many other guns to shoot.
They can be a pain. I've got a hold of some that ain;t to bad but others are very ill fit. Either way the MK IV is much better in that regard. Thanks for watching Scott!
Been watching your videos for quite a while now and just realized I never subscribed to your Channel. I am now.
....workin' your way up to Hickok level with 16oz sodas...
I pick up a mark 4 target last week (corona buy I got for 200 bucks) but the rear sights broken. Gun was never shot but must have been dropped. Can’t wait till my new sight comes in
I don't know how I missed this video..But I will say with all confidence,Ruger makes the best rimfire pistols,,bar none.
I love my MK lll, but I'd sure love to have me the MK lV even if it's mostly because of the ease of take down. I've had all the models except the MK IV, and they're all a booger to put back together.
I have 2 of this, they are the most accurate pistols I have!!
hahahahah you fixed the hell out of that fungus.....GREAT.
😂🤣😂
