I have lots of handguns, shotguns, and rifles. The toughest to stip down and put back is the Ruger 10-22. The easiest is the AK-47 and the old Colt Pocket 32 hammerless (said to be John M. Brownings favorite pistol design).
I have a Mark II. I don’t miss. Most accurate pistol I ever had. It’s a .22LR, but I can walk a coke can with it.
I used a Mark I in high school, bought one a couple years ago to shoot with the boys, and now a few months ago upgraded to a stainless steel Mark III with Hogue grips. The IV looks appealing but I’m happy with what I have at the moment. The whole series is classic and perfect 22LR target competition. Sure this one will continue that success.
After stripping to clean it a few times (after needing to google the procedure each time) I quit shooting mine, too much trouble.
WHAT!
They’re disbanding the brotherhood of the Ruger Mark 22?!
That’s the most secretive, esoteric, and exclusive group I’ve ever belonged to!
Secret handshakes be damned!Reassemble a Ruger 22 correctly and you’ve reached an accomplishment few can claim mastery of!
I shot the High Standard Supermatic in college. And since then I picked up several Ruger Single-Six revolvers. I also had to get one of the Stoeger 22 Lugers when they came out.
I looked at a Ruger Mark III, but decided against it, because we complicated cleaning and take down procedure. I liked everything else about it. I will have to take a look at the Ruger Mark IV.
Never had a trouble. My ‘old’ bull barrel target is stamped atop the receiver “MADE IN THE 200TH YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY”.
I think they did this to counter the success of the new Smith & Wesson 22 Victory and it’s ease of takedown, a single screw disassembles the gun for cleaning...
Then they just made it perfect. When can I go buy at least two?
The MK I and II were the only firearms I had to read the takedown and assembly instructions more than once.
Stripping a Rugar .22 for cleaning has always been a bear; hopefully this will make it a good deal easier.
