most seem to report the magnum is more accurate which goes along with the theory when they just came out. A good many however, will report better accuracy with the long rifle cylinder.
I've had two of these with 9.5" barrel-still have one. both of these were extremely accurate -<1"> at 25 yards with both cylinders. As a bonus, the long barreled ones put most loads pretty much to the same point of impact.

Mine's a '69 vintage. The 22WMR cylinder is the more accurate and really does a number on pint-sized varmints. Of course it's also the cylinder that gets shot the most too.
When it comes to plinking with a 22lr handgun, I prefer an auto or a DA revolver. Takes too long (for me) to go through a brick of long rifle with a SA. So the old Ruger doesn't get shot much compared to the K22's or MKII.

Love my single-six. For whatever reason, have always enjoyed the loading / unloading of the SA. The automatics are fun at first, but you sure go through the ammo.
Since the club I belong to has an outside range, it's nice to enjoy the fresh air while loading/unloading.
