How much is too much?

[Zorba]

I'm fine with my Mk III "Standard". The IV is the pistol Ruger should be building going forward, but the III is fine. The 22/45 was the answer to a question nobody asked.

Good point on S&W 41, lol. I did not consider that

[crufflers]

I love my MKII Gov Target, but if I didn't have one I'd get one of the 13 Buckmarks on roster.

The picture in the OP is that of a Hunter, which has MSRP of 769. So 800 or 850 isn't a stretch.

The Target model has MSRP of 5*9. I wouldn't pay more than 100 premium for that.

Why does number two show up as a *?

When I viewed this thread earlier, it showed correctly.

The F you say?
WTF!
BTW, Ruger stopped selling the Mark series in CA in *014.

Yeah it is even censoring the evil numeral two in my email notifications.

The contributors lounge does not have this problem. Must be a 400 lbs loser on his bed in his mommies house causing this issue.

LoL, Kel explained the mystery in the OT section.

I have an adult child in another state. Have hinted at this being a suitable Christmas gift.

That's one way one MKIV will get here. Don't plan on selling it especially since it would actually be a gift.

[dyson]

I'd pay $650, otherwise I'll just shoot my Mark III Hunter.

[osis32]

I actually really like the look of that pistol. But it's only a 22 and see no reason to pay a premium for it.

[CSACANNONEER]

I already own Ruger MKIs, MKIIs and MKIIIs. I won't even pay MSRP for a MKIV let alone a premium.

[helpfuljack]

It sure is pretty, but the trigger feel on a Buckmark is pretty sweet, they're readily available (and affordable) in CA, and there are upgrades if you want to do them.

Once I start thinking about going over $500 or so on a .22, I start wondering if I should just keep saving and add a Pardini or a Hammerli to the mix. http://www.westernmarksman.com/pardini-sport-pistol

Then I take a deep breath, and realize I'd be much better off putting that money into ammo and/or the bank.
