Ruger Mark II

Post by Shakey Jake » Wed Jul 25, 2018 2:58 pm

I went to the dentist this morning and after finishing up there went by one of the LGS locations nearby. I found this used Ruger Mark II for sale for a good price and the sales rep actually took an extra $25 off for me. I didn't think it too bad of a score for just a bit over a $100.

That's a fantastic buy on probably the best of the Ruger Mark series - congrats.

An LGS is a good place to go to forget about a dentist visit, Jake. :lol:
And especially when you bring home a Mark II for just over a C note.....wow & congrats!
I'd say better than a score....more like a grand slam.

Enjoy your new Ruger.

They had it for $165 and the salesman took off an extra $25 without me even asking!! Had to pay the sales tax of course but still came out smiling. :D

Couldn't agree more that the old short barrel Standard was one of the best of the series. Congrats.

I have a Mark I that I bought new in 1976. It has seen a ton of .22s run through it, and has always performed admirably. It is one of Clovispup's favorites.

Yes, those are factory grips, and we both love the thumbrest. Hogue makes a rubber thumbrest grip for the Mark. You might consider it.

Nice old Mark. Those original factory walnut thumb rest grips bring a lot of money, now, by the way.

Here's my only .22 pistol, not a Ruger, a Browning Challenger II. Bought it new in '83 for $235, actually still have the receipt and manual. Also had a nice S&W 8 shot .22 revolver at about the same time but unfortunately traded it for a Charter Arms Undercover .38. Decent little pistol but definitely not a target pistol.

They are good little guns. I wish I had kept my MKI with the bull barrel.
