Buckmarks are great, I owned one and loved it. Another good choice in my opinion is the Ruger Single Six. Great little guns and they come with a .22 mag cylinder as well so you can shoot both if you want.

I had one and it was pretty accurate, also just a simple straight forward design which is nice for hunting.

I've been looking at the Ruger super single 6 shooter in stainless for my plinkin/coon hunting pistol. Heard alot of good about them in reliability and accuracy. one of my buddies dropped his in a mud hole and just washed it off in a slightly less muddy mud hole and it performed flawlessly. I'm also a big fan of the Ruger semi-auto .22lr pistols. very accurate and reliable. never used a buckmark though

I have the same taurus tracker SS 22 long rifle
And a Ruger govt target model Blue 22 long rifle

I have taken many squirrels with both of them.

Me too, I wonder if we will ever see one in a .17 mach 2?? I think it could be a use full little squirell "sniper pistol" then with the longer range and flat shooting .17. and when a will they sell one in a mossy oak or atleast od or matt black for hunting, squirells can see that shinny stainless steel really easy ya know!

Shortly after I bought my hunter, I thought I had read in a magazine that Ruger was going to start production with the .17, butit isnot on the Ruger website so maybe I was just dreaming...?

The choices you were given are excellent provided you can use a semi auto for hunting in your area. Another recommendation being that this is a 'huntin' handgun is the T/C contender or Encore. Both are single shot and are chambered for the .22 lr as well as the .17s and 22 wmr. And later, for the price of a barrel you can switch out to a centerfire chambering for bigger game.

ive hurd some pretty good things bout the heritage revolvers they have 6in barrels with adjustable sights and 2 cylenders in 22 mag and 22lr and there under 200 dollars.

I haven't tried the MKII or III but my old Ruger MK I is still working great. After having thousands of rounds shot through it the Ruger is still in great shape.

I have the Ruger single six with the extra 22mag cyl.I shoot rabbit and tree rats with the 22lr cyl and if Iam doing beaver or ferall cat controll I use the mag cyl.
