Did I get a good deal ??

[luv2shoot]

Picked up this MK lll standard 6" with a Ultradot Matchdot , rosewood grips,
he said he sent it to Volquartsen for a trigger job and a bolt racker. and came
with 4 mags. said it had less then 500 rounds through it. I'll take it to the range
tomorrow see how it shoots. got it for $400 I think with the extras it's not a bad price.

From the picture and what we "see" that's all there, I'd say it was a very GOOD deal, I think though it is NOT a "standard" but actually a 6 7/8 inch target, seems like the tapered barrel is a bit "thicker" , has the front and rear sight 'body' of a 'target" gun..............with the bolt 'closed' and NO ammo ( empty) you can put a cleaning rod in the bore and measure from the bolt 'face' to the end of the barrel, see exactly what she measures in at........
a very NICE "package" indeed :wink:

How do you like that, rugerguy you are right it is a target model. Took a good look and look what I found. Don't even know what I'm buying Thanks

Good deal? NO! That was a great deal! Grips and racker to boot. The extra mags and UltraDot are worth over 200 bucks alone!

Could someone tell me when Ruger stopped making this model. I did some searching but can't find much on it.

Edit: Sorry--these are Mark II's. Bullseye has the correct Mark III info below.//

I have that model in SS and factory drilled and tapped. It's from 2005 and I think that's the last year of manufacture for both the MK678 and KMK678 models.

Also have the MK678 model from early 1983.

Stainless

Standard

Thanks Kecher1, you have some nice 678s.

Beautiful, nice find!

You got a really great deal with all the extras like the scope, trigger upgrade, and custom grips. The MkIII678, Model 10106 was discontinued from production by Ruger in 2011.
