I have a Mark ll, a Buckmark and a SP 101 in my current .22 LR handgun inventory and use them regularly for range-plinking. I have no interest in competition or serious target shooting, but delight in trying to put holes in pop cans at a 30-50yd range and scaring the hell out of the occasional gopher.

At damn near 73 years of age, I am thinking about getting something (NIB-only) that I’ll get a little time enjoying and then ultimately have a special piece to pass onto one of the grandkids. Normally, the stainless 6” 617 would be my default choice, but there something about being my age and passing on a Masterpiece to a grandkid that is resonating with me. Thoughts? CP.
