I'm not familiar with the rifle, but I have 2 of the Ruger pistols.
That pistol will make a great rabbit hunter too.
The Ruger pistols are amazingly accurate and durable. Good find!

I have a Mark II in the same configuration. I really like the way it points and balances, very similar to the 5" bull barrel but with a longer sight radius. Have fun with those.

Pete, I've got the MKII Gubment Target and If I bet someone I could hit something small at 100 yards, that is the one I would choose to close the deal. It's WAY more accurate than I am....Off a sand bag, I could hit or dust over a pop can about everytime. One ragged hole at 25yds.......Yeah, I like mine!!

Love those Ruger pistols, have a pair of 5 in one bull barrel and the other tapered. They shoot VERY good, and are just about as reliable as you can ask for.

My Model 5 is super accurate and loves hyper-velocity stuff...I did a trigger job for serious target work and now I have a crisp 1lb on the button trigger...5 shots under a dime with just about any ammo..just like my CZ452

Hey Pete. Picked up a .22 Savage to match my .300wm and I've had more fun with that rifle for a couple dollars in ammo. I buy a bulk Remington box everytime I go to Wally World now, and I picked up some CCI Velocitors for small game that are pretty darn accurate. Put the same 3x9 thats on my 300 and it sure beats gettin walloped in the shoulder and wallet everytime you pull the trigger. Took me 50 rounds or so before I quit flinchin after putting some rounds from the 300 downrange.

Good on you!

I couldn't shoot the longer barreled (6 7/8") model all that well, so grabbed this short tapered-barreled (5 1/4") Mark II a few years ago.
