Guys and gals, I need advice. I am considering getting myself a new .22LR autoloader. There are several choices identified (but not limited to):
Ruger MkII
Ruger MkIII
Ruger 22/45
S&W 22A
Taurus 22N
Beretta Bobcat Inox
I am leaning towards a MkII, the KMK512 model - stainless, 5.5" bull barrel. However, I hear it is a pain to strip for cleaning. A THRer in one thread went so far as to say you need a hammer to strip it.
Other parameters:
1) only want stainless
2) intended purpose - accuracy training at range
3) prefer American-made, but not a must
4) prefer longer barrels, but not a must
5) prefer alloy frames, but not a must
6) prefer something that is not a hobby to strip and maintain
7) high inherent accuracy is a must
8) prefer heavier barrels but not a must
9) require quality and reliability (obviously)
Advice/opinions are appreciated! Let me know your own choices and your reasons for them.
Many thanks!
