I agree. I have 3 Ruger .22's and have ran several thousand rounds through them. They are all very accurate. The only thing I don't like about them is it is a little tricky to break them down. Though I have only taken them apart a couple of times. They seem to shoot great even without being throughly cleaned. If you are wanting to spend less than $300 you can get the 45/22. They are very accurate but they don't have adjustable rear sights. On mine I want to replace it with a adjustable one like on the Mark II's. Shooting from a vise it is just as accurate as my Mark II's so I really can't complain about it.
