So,...I have a VERY good Ruger Mark II. Government Target model. Has a Volquartsen trigger in it [because the OEM Ruger trigger often pinched the skin on my trigger finger]. It shoots very well. Has front and rear fiber optic sights. Can get touching holes at 7 yards [I know,...not that great of a thing, but I like to think it is].
But,....like many before me, I don't like cleaning it. I purchased one of those aftermarket things that you unscrew so you don't have to fully disassemble it,...but every so often, you still have to fully take it apart to give it a good cleaning,...and that's still the same re-assembly issue...trying to get that little bar in the right place....
All this to say,...it makes me want to retire it and get a Mark IV. I'd have to get another Volquarten trigger, of course, but maybe I'd actually like taking it out more, since take down and reassembly is so much more user friendly.
