Kenoh2: I have been on Gopher Safari all week and had occasion to run 200 rounds (Winchester 40 grain Power-Points) through my Ruger MK-III Hunter with red dot sight and 100 rounds (Winchester 40 grain Power-Points) through my Browning BuckMark Gold 5 1/2" barrel with optical scope sight.
I never had a misfire, jam or failure to eject in all 300 rounds.
And accuracy was comparable along with the triggers being equally pleasing.
Longest Gopher kill shot so far this year with the rimfire pistols has been right at 60 yards.
My longest laser confirmed kill shot on Gophers was with my Ruger MK-III and that was 72 yards year before last.
I "carry" both pistols in zippered pistol "rugs" with pockets for ammo and Allen wrench's etc.
Guys, I am so happy with all my Rugers and BuckMarks that I call it a tie from my experiences.
Hold into the wind
