VarmintGuy: Yesterday I discovered that there is ONE thing the new Ruger MK-IV's DO NOT come with and that is a scope base!
The MK-III's and II's (IIRC!) came with a Weaver style scope base.
Apparently that policy with Ruger has changed.
Anyway I (my local gun shop actually) now have one on order.
Small set back but if anyone is planning on buying a MK-IV then as long as you are at the store/shop make sure you have a scope base if you plan on scoping it.
Oh well.
Hold into the wind
