For the price, which one of these pistols is the least fussy with ammo, most reliable, easiest to get parts for, ad most importantly fun to shoot without having it jam every shot?

Ive never had a jam in my buckmark using various types of .22lr over 1000 rounds. I love the gun and couldnt ask for more.

I have shot the Beretta enough to say it is not what you are looking for. I think the browning or ruger would both be exceptional shooters. Most of the time I pick Browning over Ruger, but I give the nod to the ruger in rimfires simply because I'm a big MKII and 10/22 fanboi.

If money wasn't part of the equation, I'd pick a Buckmark over a Ruger any time. I've owned and shot both a lot. Our Buckmark Target 5.5 is now my daughter's gun and it's had cases of ammo go through it. Ruger triggers pretty much always suck, Buckmark's are much better as a rule. I don't think one malfunctions more than the other though.

cost was one of the factors when i was buy the buckmark for bullseye league and steel challenge and after putting over 1000 rounds through it I have no regrets in spending the extra money on the buckmark. I have the Buckmark Plus Stainless UDX

^^^ that buckmark is gorgeous. I'd go browning over ruger personally, I'd rather spend the $, get a better pistol that has no problems for any ammo than a cheap .22 that has worlds of problems and requires expensive ammo

I shoot rimfire matches twice a month here in PA and there are a ton of Rugers at the matches. MkII, MkIII, 22/45 several of each, probably more Rugers than any other brand. Most (including my 22/45) are running "bulk pack" ammo and rarely have issues. If I needed to buy again for some reason, I'd buy another 22/45.

All are good. I have the Beretta neo and Ruger 22/45.

A word to the wise. The ruger is a royal pain to clean and you might want to factor that in when buying. The only reason I bought one was because it was $175 on sale. I pour break free down it and then dry it with cloths.
