Page 4 - Ruger Mark IV Reviews

I love the looks and the feel of this pistol. Its easy to load and shoots very accurately as long as you keep the distance reasonable. I love the windage and elevation adjustments on the rear sight. The front fiber optic sight is a nice addition from the factory. Ruger/Umarex did a good job on duplicating the Mark line of .22LR pistols that Ruger carries.

I am being picky but maybe the trigger could be a bit more smooth. For the price though, it is an excellent value.

I have shot close to 500 pellets through this gun and love it. It has gotten smoother the more I have shot it. The trigger takes a little time to get used to but it is accurate and a pleasure to shoot. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good plinker for backyard shooting. Pyramid Air was awesome to deal with and I received my order in a very timely manner.

Break-barrel for spontaneous shooting when I have a few minutes and dont want to break out the co2. I like the rhythm of single shot pistols with a single cocking action. Accurate for 10yd plinking of 2-3/8 inch cat food cans. And It’s pretty quiet. The weight is what I was looking for (much lighter than my Mark l bull barrel firearm) and not barrel heavy despite the appearance.

Any changes would add to the cost.

Everyone complains about the trigger, but it is not much heavier than many DA/SA pistols or most DA revolvers. Do not expect a target trigger. Be sure to try a variety of pellets before passing judgment on the accuracy. I am only 100 shots in and it seems to prefer Meisterkuglen 7.0 but also plinks well with Crosman 7.4 WC and 7.9CPHP. A lot of simple fun with minimal cost. Also cocks much easier than my P17 and no worries about getting pinched in the process.

Great little replica pistol. Similarity to the real firearm is close enough that allows addition of aftermarket grips such as Hogue and other items such as picatinny/weaver sight mount and red dot sight. These modifications have been successfully done on my pistol. I have submitted a picture of these modifications to Pyramid and are presently being reviewed by them prior to posting on this site.

Seems like the trigger is a little less heavy on the pull than the Buckmark but still considerably heavy so that is my only ding on the pistol this far.

I believe the rear sight is not removable from the dovetail slot. It's a convincing imitation though. It was pretty straightforward attaching the sight mount. Drilling and tapping the metal receiver and then applying JB clear weld to lock it solidly. Over One thousand rounds and absolutely no loosening of the base mount. This pistol likes Crosman 7.4 pointed pellets. I've also submitted a picture of a soup can I riddled at 30 feet using the 7.4 pointed pellets. Don't think you can go to far wrong bye purchasing the Umarex Ruger Mark lV. Like the other review points out, owners of the Buckmark URX pellet pistol will enjoy this new offering from Umarex.

Cost. Design lines. Similar feel for real gun. Easy loading. Traditional single stroke pump

Lighten up trigger a bit

Siggts are adjustable however do not expect this to be a tack driver. Was hoping to get maybe a 2 to 3in grouping at 30ft but is more like 6in. Mine also shoots all to left side regardless of sight adjustment. Other than trigger weight it does give a good representation of the ruger pistol.

Shooting bullseyes right out of the blister pack. Cocking and loading are pretty easy. The trigger is a bit stiff, it will probably loosen up a bit over time and use. This is a splendid pistol. Feels good in the hand and not too heavy. This is a fun, functional pistol, even my wife likes it. I think it will last a long time.

The front fiber optic sight doesn't seem to absorb much light, this could be the fault of my dingy basement. It is cold here in Northeast PA. We will see when I take it outside in the spring.

Was able to snag two of these since I had them pre-ordered. Wonderful that they came in this year - ETA used to be early next - but I have a pair of Buckmarks and a pair of P17s for friendly target competitions with pals, and this is a worthy set to join those. Comparison immediately to the Buckmarks - the mechanism seems to be very similar. Just got 'em as I said and the trigger will most probably need some working in - it's a bit stiff now but does compare to the Buckmark in action. (The P17 wins the prize for a decent trigger at this price point.) Like the Buckmark, this is a replica of a highly desirable firearm and both are fantastic looking pistols - like the Luger, there's an immediate attraction to the shape and construction of these pistols. Chronographed in the middle 300s, which was totally expected and again compares to the Buckmarks. (And again, the P17s another winner in that category.) The barrel is a nice length and makes it quite easy to cock. Finish is quite good.

The trigger, if it doesn't ease up a bit, might be something to check into, but generally, for shear fun and plinking satisfaction at this price, there ain't much argument. It would be nice if some manufacturer spent a bit more effort to make versions of this and the Buckmark with more realism and action, and maybe that might happen if these sell well.

The grip looks like it might be a bother, but I've found it to be quite comfortable and non-fatiguing. If you have a Buckmark and enjoy it, you will like this for sure.

The gun is light weigh. Website says it weighs 3.15 lbs. My scale says 1.35 lbs. Very easy to cock and load. The trigger is not too heavy. The grip feels good, not too big.

The specs on the sellers website says the gun is rated at 360 fps. The blister pack the gun came in says 320 fps. Does not feel powerful. I have a target range in my cellar and is ok for this gun. Not sure if this will replace my Beeman P17 as my favorite pellet pistol
