I was looking through the Indiana Gun Owners forum for sale ads and saw this Ruger offered for sale. Mk I 99% condition in original box...$225. I immediately sent a PM hoping I was first (ad had only been posted for about 15 minutes or so) and indeed I was. Picked it up last night in a face to face sale and was very happy to see it was as described. In fact I am not sure it was shot past the factory test firing, owner said it had been just sitting in his safe for many years. Some quick research shows it to be 1979 production and a quick visit to Midway online got 5 more magazines on the way. Tomorrow I will head out to the range with half a dozen brands of ammo for some testing...I hope it will like the Federal Auto Match, all my other 22's do.
I have been shooting a Browning Buckmark for years now, I had forgotten just how nice these old Rugers fell in the hand. Solid, chunky, well balanced...the deep cutout under the bolt really sets the gun firmly in the web of the hand. The fixed sights are robust and very easy to use with the undercut front sight really looking good in the rear sight. I am considering a Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite threaded upper so I can use this as with a can as well. If the fixed sights won't shoot to POA I may add a Ruger or Micro adjustable rear if I can find one.
