I just pulled my old Ruger MKII out of the box. My Ranger buddy in the service bought it for me when I ETS'd. I have killed numerous animals with the thing since 1981, recently, I put down a family of coons in a dark feed room on the farm. It was fun as hell! I want to upgrade to a MKIV and am leaning on the heavy barrel target model. The tactical model looks cool as hell though too! Any recommendations?
