A family member wants to sell me a Mark 4 22/45 Lite in excellent condition with box, papers, etc. for $350. I'm tempted because I've shot the gun and like it. I've got a couple of Mark 2's so am familiar with the Ruger Marks. Is $350 a good price?

Maybe this is foolish, but I always use gunbroker sorted by price to get an idea of what the range of available prices is, and use that to determine what is a deal currently. That model right now looks to be $400 and counting in auction for the absolute low end, msrp is $720, and new prices are $470 to a more common $600. That's a green light to me for your offer. Can't discount the value of being in hand and no sales tax being from a relative. Not that I wouldn't try to haggle it down to $300 or $350 with ammo and gadgets included....

The Ely is the the stuff CMP sold by the case pre-covid. It's above average but I don't know how it compares to current Ely offerings. I was really just interested in the price for the gun because I was given the ammo anyway as I am the only other shooter in the family. She was offered $350 by a local gun store which tells me it's a reasonable price for this area. I'm going to "pull the trigger":) on this deal.
Thanks for the replies.
