So I picked up a mk3 22/45 from my lgs for a steal. It already has a weaver/ dovetail rail on it.
Anyone ever used something like those tiny 3x prism scopes on these? Or just stick with a red dot?
I put a few hundred rounds through it seems like it shoots about 2 inches under my usual sight picture but very accurate and fun so far

If you have astigmatism a prism is the only way to go! I have a 1.5x prism on my Beretta CX4 Storm and it the only red dot type sight that I can shoot that don't have a comet tail look.

Haha that’s great to know! On my AR my 3moa dot is probably closer to a 6-7. Never tried the prisms before but they appear to be very nice and sometimes battery free

I have a Mark IV Hunter but I'm not talking about optics...just a suggestion....if ya need to really clean it go to the ruger site and follow their videos on disambly and reassembly....they make the cleaning thing a joy!

these guns, or at least the old stainless target 22-45 ive got is very accurate. ive been thinking of ordering the mount for it to put Burris fast fire on top. just another $50 to figure in the budget

I have an old Ruger MK I T on which I mounted a Bushnell Phantom 2.5x about 45 years ago. It is my go to 22 handgun and I have several.

I usually avoid magnified optics on handguns unless it's for a specialized, shoot-from-a-rest kind of application. Red dot all the way.

I have a pair of Ruger Mk III 22/45's. His and hers, both have 2.5 moa Red Dots. Both will put 10 into a water bottle cap at 20 feet without touching the sides.
And they'll do it surprisingly quickly with a little practice.
Mine is good but momma is just pure wicked with any kind of hand gun.
