Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

[Areoflyer09]

Yes, there are so many kinds. I think that trying different ones will help. I'll just bring some .22 ammo with me, but the the problem is that I know each one that I try I'm going to like. LOL

Nobody that has tried mine hasn’t liked them. Quite the opposite in fact.

Liked all the Rugers. Did not enjoy the .22 Dan.

Well yours are all stock, right?

Uhh...stock...I don’t know what that means.

The kit for MkIV is sitting in my mailbox currently. It’s the only non-perfected 22 pistol I own right now and that will change in 3-4 hours. Lol

Fair. I was not thinking about the Dan when I made that statement.

Why don't people like yours?

This is why we were taught not to use double negatives. I may have butchered the intended meaning.

They are very much enjoyed. Outside of the cost they make others spend...people don’t like that part as much.

Stock? Lol. He modifies his modifications.

Parts arrive before new guns.

I blame that on CM.

Turning the tables...nice!

CM introduced me to the Czickness. I thought he was a great guy immediately. I got to know him a little better over the forum and saw him at a few gun shows, and yep, I was right.

That was a good one!!

Well so much for that plan. The VQ internals kit was in the mailbox, but somewhere along the lines the shipping envelope got ripped/cut/sliced open and the the TK trigger is missing. USPS is looking into it and they will call back in 2-3 days with a resolution.

I suppose I could put it together with the stock trigger for now. Maybe see if the trigger is the same between the MkIII and MkIV, I’ve got an extra VQ trigger.

That does look interesting. It'll be interesting to see how it fares, especially given the magazine compatibility. Still, I think many will still lean towards the 10/22 for the simple fact of parts availability unless this is priced VERY aggressively.

I actually really like some of the features they’ve incorporated. The ability to drop the lower receiver with one button is a neat change, the “dome” firing pin I’m less confident about.

Why is it not threaded though?

The street price on this one will determine the interest that’s out there.

 

[Bigtanker]

Threaded comes later. But with the plethora of cans out there, especially in rimfire, it should be standard.

 

[Areoflyer09]

Given they are looking to take on the 10/22, one would think they should go all in to start with.

It would set it apart from the standard 10/22...

Looking at the Ruger Mark IV pistols, how do you decide between so many? I'd like to get something that isn't too expensive and that I can have fun with and upgrade.

Hey Ben!
Great question: been asking myself the same one for the past 2 yrs.
Areoflyer is certainly a source of truth about .22LRs: I have bought some of his "leftovers" before and been quite happy with them.
I have bought/shot/sold dozens of .22LRs and had a blast doing so.
I am down to 6 remaining and still trimming. (getting very difficult now)
There is much love for the Ruger here (I have 2 models myself).
The Browning has been very good in my hands, both the 5.5 & the 7.25 barrel.
There is also much respect for the SW Victory also.
Enjoy finding out: the Truth is out there.
