Rugers with bull barrels run from ~$300-500, with the competition model being most expensive (although already drilled and tapped for red-dot mounts). You can get lots of after market stuff like better triggers, hammers, barrels, etc from Volquartsen. Some fully customized Ruger MK II's from an after market gunsmith can run close to $2000.

Thanks, I'm after something for aroun $400 for target practice and general plinking although at some point I'd like to get in the league at my club.
