Mk III 60th Anniversary Update:RANGE REPORT & company response

Picked her up today, not what I went in for, but she called to me. Stainless, target barrel, 24kt gold inlay, and Anniversary emblemed grips. This is my first ruger rimfire pistol, any tips or recommended mods?

 

[Sullivan_pbr]

That sure is purdy.

 

[Fullmag]

Oh wow.

 

[BlueEagle]

Recommendations?

Its a piece of junk and should be shipped to me IMMEDIATELY for safe disposal before you accidentally shoot your eye out.

Other than that, just go put LOTS of rounds through it and enjoy.

Very nice. I would leave that version as is.

 

[brutalone]

Sexy...

Thanks. This is kind of what I'm thinking. I was considering maybe a voltsquarten trigger, but this trigger is really pretty nice as is. Would like to hear from some of you with experience on the voltsquarten trigger. I went in looking for a 22/45 target model, but walked out with this instead. I couldn't resist! Any Ruger gurus out there have any idea how many of these were produced?

Only mod I can think of is a full mag.

That is AWESOME!!!!! Ruger 22's are my favorite. The one thing that is a must is the Ultimate Clip Loader......You're gonna need it!!!!!!!!!

 

[Magneto]

Great piece. I love my Talo M&P so I know you will love this.

Congrats on the new Ruger!

I have a have a Mark 111 target with the bull barrel and my only complaint is that front sight looks, but never mind you have that solved.

I would just check with Ruger on the numbers produced, maybe someone here will know.

Thanks for the heads up. I can tell loading too many of these mags would be hard on the fingers, and that speed loader would save TONS of time!

Paperboy is absolutely right. The UCL is worth it's weight in gold.

RANGE REPORT: Took her out this morning and burned through a couple hundred rounds. SHE IS A SHOOTER!!!! Only shot one mag at fifty yards after getting the scope dialed in, and 8 of ten were within 2.75" with arms supported! The cheap bushnell RDS worked great, and I was shooting Federal Auto-Match. Needless to say, I'm thrilled.

 

[hammer24]

Contacted Ruger, and learned something new. The company will not release production numbers for "competative reasons."

 

[gunman41mag]

I think for the money, nothing beats a RUGER 22 MARK II or MARK III

 

[jgreiner]

Nice looking gun!!! Now get one of these for it.

 

[Jpfledderer]

I would invest a $100.00 in the Volquartsen trigger/hammer kit. The stock trigger is good, but after install, the trigger is wicked. My buddy and I both have 22-45's with the same internals. They are sweet. Easy to install, plus you can adjust the pre/over travel. Check them out. By the way, nice gun!

 

[Plisken]

Tips take it to the range and shoot it and have fun. Rugers are the bomb when it comes to rimfires. Thats one pretty pistol enjoy.

 

[Tsigos]

Sure looks great. I love my 22/45 but I think the mk iii (especially in stainless) looks better. The weight of the mk iii also gives it a quality feel.
