Our family has 1 ruger MKI, 6 ruger MKII's, and 1 ruger 22/44.

I myself have 2 MKII's, one is the anniversery issue, which I will never shoot, the other is my constant partner while out in the woods. Usualy I don't pop small game with it, such as squirrels, while on the hunt, but mostly grouse/ptarmigan, etc. The ruger MKII will last foreever. It shoots good, has good balance, and I've never had a problem with mine(bought it when I was 12)....(but I'm only 18 now

).
My belt holds probably 50 .22 bullets of different variety. I have some CCI stingers, some mini-mags, some hollow points, some shot shells(shot shells in .22's suck, by the way.) and a few CB caps. Mostly I use the caps while hunting bigger game. They sound like a twig breaking, and I've dispatched rabbits from 15 yards or so with them.
