I wish I could hold it that still! I was firing at 25 yards. Seriously, this 1.5" Baer will put them exactly where you put the sight. My biggest challenge is just holding it still.

Funny- I acquired 6MM PPC dies and no gun to go with it. That caliber is pretty much roll-your-ownly.

You can at least buy the brass now, which is a big step forward. I almost bought a nice Sako 6PPC last year.

I was having a conversation with a friend and he was considering a firearm with laser sight. He asked me if you really hit where the laser is and I said, yeah, but put the laser on something and see how consistenly you can hold it. I said, if you think you can hold it still, you won't after having a laser sight and watching it float around the quarter-sized target. Most guns will put them where you place them, it's just that most of us think we place them better than the gun shoots when in fact it's the other way around.

Picked up a new Mark 3 today. Didn't get to do a whole lot of shooting as it was stupid cold and it took more time than I expected to disassemble, clean and reassemble it before firing for the first time. Over all it seems like it will be a fun firearm to train with when at the range or out back for a lot less than the 9mm.

First time messing with a Ruger standard, eh? :-)

Yeah, I've been an old school shooter for years and just got into semi auto pistols this year. So I'm going thru the learning curve.

on the bright side, now all the other autos will seem easy to you.

You are not kidding, the LC9 and Glock are so familiar to me now I could do it blind folded.

They are.....I guess I would say unique....to say the least.....but after you figure it out it really is not that bad....at least I don't have that big of a problem with it.

I don't recall the name of it, but someone makes a modification for the Ruger Mark series to make them much easier to take down and clean. My Mark III Hunter probably has 600 rounds through it, and I've never taken it down, but there are some pretty good youtube videos showing the procedure. I'm waiting for a day when I'm completely frustrated about all kinds of other stuff, because I'm pretty sure taking down the Ruger will ruin a good day!

Also, a magazine loader can make it much easier to go through box after box of .22LR.

Congrats, nice gun.
