    That is the Ruger pistol I have, and use. It is an anniversary model. I do like the pistol, but, when shot side by side with the Browning, the Browning will out shoot it every time. The Brownings trigger pull is much better. I need th research upgrading the Rugers trigger pull.
    I have three, identical Ruger pistols, and all three have the same trigger feel.

    We go to a range in PA (just over the NJ border) because you can rent there. (It's not legal here in NY.) So far I have rented the Ruger & the Smith & Wesson Victory, which I didn't like. Too many design flaws.

    The Buckmark vs Ruger 22 argument is on the same level as 9mm v .45acp, ford v chevy, etc. It never ends with fans on both sides.

    I had a few rugers and my range buddy had brownings. Always liked the browning, but never picked one up.

    Not Heritage Guild in Easton?

    I have shot there a few times and shopped at Sarco as well. I work about 2 miles from there.

    The better trigger, on the Browning, contributed to the slightly better accuracy. All three Rugers I have, need a little trigger work.

    Yes. The Browning pistols were easier to field strip as well. I had a couple of the Mk I and Mk II pistols.

    Now all I have is a take down 10/22. I did swap the trigger unit out for their cleaned up version. Not as pricey or as good as a Volquartsen but way better than stock.

    Dale, please do not strip in the field even if there's no one around. The Penguinators have gotten some disturbing reports. :eek:

    There is a story for another time and place....

    It did not involve penguins, but a senior Japanese couple may have seen more than they should have while I was on the trail....

    The BX trigger group. It has about a 3 lb pull and was roughly $70 when I bought it 5-6 years ago.

    The stock trigger that came with the 10/22 was heavy and creepy.

    Ok, ok, ok. I've been thinking Ruger Mark IV, and you've been talking Ruger 10/22. That's why I can only find the Volquartsen.
