Looking for some opinions (I know that is dangerous on NES). Anyways, my father brought me to FS today and informed me that as a present he will be buying me a Ruger Mark IV. He thinks that everyone should have a .22 target gun and I can't say I disagree with him. He even told me that he is going to send it away and have it engraved with a special message. I am very excited as I know it will be a staple for a long time.
That being said, He told me today that I get to choose. Do I want the target or the hunting model. He also told me that after some rounds are put through it, he will gladly add the Volquartsen Trigger Enhancement kit. I fondled both models as well as the stock and installed trigger today. the trigger enhancement is hard to argue with. I know there is a difference in price, I was told to not consider that as a deciding factor.
Differences (from my understanding) Hunting has, Longer Barrel, groves,upgraded sights, Steel vs Aluminum frame.
So my questions are as follows :
1) If you own one, which model and what do you like and don't like about it?
2) Do you have the trigger Job? Likes, Dislikes?
3) Am i missing any other differences?
4) Any other info I should know?
This will 100% be a range toy to enjoy with my father and beyond. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR OPINIONS ON ANY OTHER GUNS. I appreciate the sediment, but the decision has already been made that it will be this gun. I will most likely head somewhere to try both, but want opinions first.
Thanks in advance!
