Customer Reviews for Ruger Mark IV Hunter .22 LR 6.88 Stainless, Laminate Grips, 10+1

WHOEVER THE GENIOUS IS THAT DESIGNED THIS GUN SHOULD GET A MILLION DOLLAR BONOUS FROM RUGER , ITS OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE BEST 22 PISTOLS EVER MADE , I CANT MISS WITH MINE AN IT FUNCTIONS FLAWLESSLEY

Love the gun. Accurate up to 100 yards with standard sights. If I had one negative, the gun is on the heavy side. But it’s not a problem.Very good price at Buds.

Purchasing from Buds is a smooth as silk transaction! Easy to use website makes it that much more enjoyable. Delivery took two days from start to finish. The pistol itself is stunning to say the least, shoots well and is a breeze to field strip.

I looked for this pistol and Buds was the only place I could find it in stock. Quick service and 5 days later, I was completing the 4473 for the transfer. Smooth transition by Bud's

Have not hunted with this yet but has been very accurate at the range

This Ruger Mark IV Hunter is such an awesome looking and shooting pistol for the price that I got it for at Budsgunshop. I installed a red dot sight, zeroed it and now if even performs much better. It is always a pleasure doing business with Budsgunshop and I have never had any problems from online purchase, to price match requests, and reliable delivery!

This was out of stock for the better part of a year everywhere. I put it on my list and was notified when it came in. It was a better price than used ones were going for on Gunbroker! Price was great shipping was fast and the gun is perfect. As far as performance, the gun shoots way above my skill level and seems to really like cci ammo.

Review is way over-due. Purchased item back when it was readily available. Ordered the Ruger Mark IV Hunter and had NO problems with order/shipment from Bud's Guns. I was able to receive my gun from a local FFL and on the date originally set. A BIG THANK YOU, to Bud's Guns.

Bought this several months ago and have just been putting it through it paces. I'd say it took a little while to break in properly but after about 100 rds it fed pretty reliably. It is a gorgeous gun and the ease of the breakdown is awesome. Accuracy is great. It just has a lot of cool factor going for it.

Received the gun Quick & fast. I have no complaints of order and shipping. Only complaint I do have when I got the Hunter MK IV the pistol had issues. The rear site was not centered and could not be moved to the center position so you could be on target. 10' to 13' from target , gun was still 3-5 inch off center. I question and told Buds but had to send gun back to factory myself. Honestly felt in this case I would had thought Buds would have assist me with the problems I was having. I did send Hunter MK IV back to factory and Ruger made the Gun 100% . Now the Hunter shoots as a Hunter should. The Gun very good gun. I cannot say the same for Buds for I had no way of knowing Gun has issues when I picked it up FFL Dealer. Buyers Beware. Product is 5 Stars

Purchasing the Ruger Mark IV Hunter was done without any problems. Bud's Guns did a very good job to insure the process went smoothly. I was able to receive my gun from the FFL on the date stated and even that process went well with no surprises. I will definitely refer my friends to Bud's Guns for all their needs.

The best 22 pistol you can get, period.

It's undeniably well made and will be more accurate than I am. Knowing that the Ruger Mark IV line was easy to take apart to maintain, as well as having a desire to practice shooting with cheap .22, this was a perfect choice for a pistol to practice with.
I only have two things that I am not the happiest about with the MkIV Hunter:
It's heavier unloaded than a fully loaded Glock 19. I shouldn't have been surprised by this as it's basically a block of steel than got milled. The extra heft made aiming a bit more tiring over time than I had thought it would.
The front sight managed to unscrew itself a little around 300 shots in on the first time I took it out. I had to borrow someone else's hex key to keep going until I got back home to my own tools. A small complaint and certainly an unlucky exception, though still disappointing.
Overall, combined with cheap .22 ammo, this is going to by my first choice to go to the range with for years to come.

Super awesome and accurate target pistol.
Best looking .22LR and easy to teardown and clean.
I did need to loctite the grip screws and sight mount screws after they came loose on a friend's MK IV Hunter so I did mine before going to the range.
No problems. Fit and finish are great.

I've not put a ton of rounds through this, but it is clearly a range gun build so I feel I can review it.
Everything on this pistol is excellent with one exception. The solid steel construction, the grips, etc. Its accuracy is better than my skill to shoot and only hindered by... the trigger.
The trigger is rather mushy for a single action only design. For the style of pistol I found it to be disappointing. I'm sure it can be refined with some after market stuff but for the price on a 22 LR pistol I expected it to be target shooting perfect.
But I'd buy the gun again, I'm certain I can resolve the trigger issue on my own and everything else with this pistol is so top notch.

Had the Mark III same barrel loved it, as everyone did not like the field strip, was pretty good at it but when I did not shoot for a few months or more had to go back to you tube to refresh my memory so I bought the Mark VI guys and girls its top shelf now I like it so much we shoot it more, even though we shoot a lot of 9mm,its tack driver for sure, Thanks again for Buds great service.

I was getting ready to write about my beautiful new Ruger Mark iv Hunter and how quickly it arrived at my FFL dealer, and then I saw that the price of the Hunter today was 567.00. That's just great. A couple weeks ago I paid 631.00. You could have let me know that waiting would save me 60.00. Dennis Callahan

This gun is mint. Its form and function is perfect. Just what I have come to associate with Ruger. This product is as good as if not better than my first Ruger I bought in 1985. Perfect.

Finally got my new Christmas present to the range today - Buds' was terrific to ship it so promptly during the holiday season. I just had time today to make the windage adjustment on the rear sight. With a few turns of the screw it lined up perfectly for my fourth clip. I was able to put 100 rounds through it and had consistently tight groups out to 20 yards. I shot 50 high and 50 standard velocity rounds. I only had one standard velocity round fail to completely cycle out of the chamber after it fired. Better than I actually expected as I wasn't doing that well with my Mark II and the same ammo. As a lefty I really appreciated the safety on the right side of the gun - that is a terrific improvement in design and it works great!!! Also, the cleaning was a breeze - yes it's a terrific fire arm and a lot of fun to shoot - will tackle the elevation adjustment next time out. Thanks Bud's, I will return for another purchase later this year.

Ruger really did their home work with the MK IV pistol. This pistol is so easy to take down and reassemble. As far as accuracy goes, it's dead on! I absolutely love this pistol. At first I wasn't sure how I would like the fluted barrel but it gives it a classy look that I really like. It sets it off as different from the others. I installed a Volquartsen trigger kit and it really made a huge difference in the trigger. About 1 1/2 lb. trigger pull and breaks crisp and clean with no travel. This gun is five stars all the way and five stars to Buds for super fast shipping!

Excellent service and love the Ruger.

I am so happy that I purchased this Ruger pistol. It is an extremely well designed and well built gun and accurate and so much fun to shoot. It carries well ( not as concealled but as a hunting/outdoors gun ). It is well balanced, very good looking, and I can't say enough positive about the gun.

Perfect shooting gun. Love it

Super accurate and fun to shoot. Added a Vortex venom and its perfect setup.
