700LH: Received.
That $509.00 price "shipped" is just $3.00 better than what my local gun shop sold their Target model for.
I wonder if there is sales tax, insurance and F.F.L. fees on the pistol you reference to also?
Anyway I did several more gunshops and chain sporting goods stores yesterday and NONE of those stores/shops had seen hide nor hair of the new Ruger MK-IV's in any model.
Also in my travels was a complete lack of American made 22 L.R. hollow-point ammunition.
I did find one chain store with a sale on 17 HMR 17 grain Hornady V-Max ammo - it was $9.99 a box - no limit no sales tax no discount per carton (Three Bears Alaska in Butte, Montana).
That price was $3.00 per box off of their normal price of $12.99.
Thanks for your info.

P.S.: I did see one Ruger MK-III stainless Hunter at a Bob Wards store and they wanted $579.00 (no tax) for that MK-III!
