I am in complete paralysis by analysis mode. I started off thinking I knew exactly what I wanted; a Ruger Mark IV target. Of course with the internet, I started looking at comparison videos and forums and have now gone from knowing exactly what I wanted to, I have no clue what to buy or even why I wanted to buy it in the first place.
First the aluminum lower on the Mark IV target bothered me, so I looked at the stainless. That was a lot of money for a 22.
Then I looked at the Victory. It has a polymer lower which bothers me, but it is a lot cheaper.
Looked at buckmarks, but none of them just scream "buy me"
Went back to the stainless Mark IV target and then started thinking, for that amount of money, maybe a used High standard or Colt woodsman might be better.
Then I started thinking, that for that amount of money, I could buy the Victory and have enough money left over to buy a suppressor. OOOHHH suppressor...drool...
I have an old 3 screw flat gate Ruger single six that my two kids are already fighting over who gets it when I die, so I have even started looking at single 6's and 10's and S&W model 17's and 617's.
And I haven't even discussed the fact that I have also looked at all the Tandem Kross and Volquartsen upgrades for the Victory and the Mark IV's.
Now, mind you, all this started off with me wanting to buy a Ruger Mark IV target to shoot at cans in the back yard with my kids and has grown into a suppressed race gun or expensive collectors item.
The internet is great, but I kinda miss the days of just going into your local hardware store and buying whatever gun they had on the shelf that interested you.
UUGGGHHH.
