Mastered the Ruger disasembly as a kid.
Like the 6 7/8" tapered bull bbl the best.
Ideally get a Mk2 and have it D&T, Volq trigger stuff.

I had a Mk1, minty. Let my cuz buy it.......as my old HS Sharpshooter came back up for sale. That thing was wicked.

But my eyes got worse, so it went bye bye.

TC Super 14 scoped proly my next tree rat weapon.

Have shot other HS and the Sharpshooter just felt the best to me (and looked best). I do have a fond spot for two of my dad's .22 handguns..........the Colt Match Target Woodsman 6" and the Don Nygord 1911 with Kart slide.

If laser can fix my eyes maybe I'll run those down the road.
Just put a red dot on my TC .223...........groundhogs in 2 weeks maybe.
