I just bought a Ruger MK III Competition and want to put a red dot sight on it for quicker target aquisition. Can someone tell me which would work best and which ring mounts would be good too?

I have happily used a C-More for many years. These red dot scope have dominated ISPC type shooting for years, and for good reason. If, you have issues with the lens getting dirty as one poster suggested, simply add what is called a blast shield and it keep the burnt gasses for hitting the lens.
The C-More does take a tad bit of getting used to, but instead of a scope tube, it simply has a lens in the front that diode projects the dot onto. It works quite well and they have lots of control for brightness.
Good luck

I have owned just about every brand of red dot sight and in my experience, UltraDot is the best value. There are others that might be as tough, but you'll pay a lot more for them. There are also a lot of cheaper ones too, but you'll wind up replacing them. I currently have a Tasco ProPoint PDP3 on my Smith 41, and it's been working just fine for over a decade, however I went through 3 of them on my 1911 before I switched to the UltraDot and never had another problem with it again.
Both of these sights are 30mm tubes, but for a .22 you could go smaller if necessary. I like that I have just about the same field of view through all of the sights for Bullseye, which is shy I have all 30mm tubes. It's the KISS system.
Do yourself a favor and use a mount that screws onto the receiver and stay away from those clamp-on or quick disconnect mounts. They always fail at the most inoppertune moments.

Might be just my opinion but RED DOT sights do not make good compatition sights. of any type.( a scope with a fiber optic pin and larger aperature to assist with low light conditions would be a better choce. RED DOT'S have a problem with not being able to see through the "smoked" glass lense in low light conditions and not being able to see the red dot in bright light conditions.)

You would find a regular scope far more accurate and useful over and red dot
Especially if you plan to shoot at any real distance.

Ask this at a reputable gun shop in your neighborhood.
