I am more and more in the mood to get a really good target 22 pistol to use. I might end up with a tricked out Ruger (had one once), but I am considering either a Model 41 S&W or a Beretta 87. I've never shot either of the latter and I'd probably have to order one even to look at them. The Beretta looks like it might work for me as I use a 92 Elite II and the grip looks the same.

The Baikal target pistol is a very good choice. There are a couple of web sites that discuss this gun in great detail - its good enough that Walther is "refining it" (new grips) and putting their name on it and charging a lot of money for them. You can buy the Baikal on this auction site, just search for it. They are not expensive. Read about them here http://home.dal.net/pcb/izh35m-comp.html
Another excellent target pistol is the Pardini SP, available from Don Nygord.
Hamden High Standards are often excellent, check the right side of the frame for cracks - they crack from HV ammo being used in them. If you get one, replace the springs and you should be set.
Another excellent choice - if you have a 1911 frame to mount it on is the Marvel conversion from http://www.marvelprecision.com/ These are really good.
I shot the already mentioned Hammerli 208s for awhile, I didn't care for it. I'm using a Pardini now and am considering returning to the Marvel on a Kimber Gold Match frame.
Haven't had the chance to ask how the new dini is doing for you. Ok I hope. Love mine for rimfire but the grip is wrong when I shoot three gun.
