Finding one of these in your LGS is nearly impossible. But, Four Seasons in Woburn came through with BRAND NEW!
I really needed a .22. I have a 1983 Colt Ace that I don't want to overuse. I loved my older Ruger, so I decided on the Mk IV. I'll take it to the range this weekend. Can't wait.Nice purchase. You're going to have fun with that.
Bwahahaha, I see a very costly future for you.... unless you're a single man, then I simply wish you luck. Those redheads can be spiteful.MKIVs are like redheads for me. Every one I see beckons me. I only have the one, but I see a half dozen in my future.
YOUSAID IT! With my older one, take it apart in about fifteen seconds, clean it in about twenty minutes, reassemble it in about three hours including frustration, whisky breaks, and fits of rage.Nice! I went the other way with my Mark 4 and bought a standard with a short tapered Barrel just like a Mark 1. The joy of the easy breakdown , no matter which IV!
Yes, but those times when it goes together in a couple minutes seem so special. Like when I used to drink, and stood in line for a urinal at the bar for what seemed like hours. When you finally reach your goal there’s nothing like it.YOUSAID IT!

Congrats on the New MK IV......looks very nice....i like the barrel & the 45-11 grip.....several years ago I picked up a nice used MK III 6" Stainless Steel Hunter at my LGS just before the MKIV came out.....I got a great deal, but after a field strip for cleaning & re-assembly, I wish I had known about the MK IV coming out, i would have waited.....but for 325 bucks i couldn't pass it up. I have the original grips but like the basket weave, I put an inexpensive tru-glow red dot on it, its amazing how much that helped the groups.Finding one of these in your LGS is nearly impossible.

Funny; I sold my Mk III Hunter identical to yours to buy the Mk IV!Congrats on the New MK IV......looks very nice....i like the barrel & the 45-11 grip.....several years ago I picked up a nice used MK III 6" Stainless Steel Hunter at my LGS just before the MKIV came out.....I got a great deal, but after a field strip for cleaning & re-assembly, I wish I had known about the MK IV coming out, i would have waited.....but for 325 bucks i couldn't pass it up.

Congrats again....You came out ahead with the MK IV.
It takes lots of patience, frustration, fits of rage, lots of beer, a few whiskies, and three hours.Never understood all the frustration with assembling a Mark I, II, or III. Easy peasy, but I work on motorcycles and that builds patience.
