Posted: 1/23/2021 10:50:30 PM EST I've been itching to buy one of these for a long time. Since I have everything else I can think of squared away, I figure I'll just buy one. Haven't paid attention to .22lr guns in years so I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to generational differences. From what I can see, everybody absolutely raves about the mk IV because of it's quick takedown, improved ergonomics with controls, and I guess a ton of aftermarket support with uppers/parts. Just curious if it's worth the extra $150 or so compared to a NIB Mk III? I'm using gunbroker for a reference and I see a NIB blued mk III for $299 while the mk IV seems to start around $450. What are your thoughts between the two if you had to pick only one. Thanks!
