The 2000 Ruger catalog contains 10 different 10/22 model variations (prices range from $235 to $445), including the 10/22 .22 Magnum introduced in 1999. The .22 LR versions include the Standard configuration in blue or stainless with barrel band and one-piece smooth hardwood stock; the All-weather models in blue or stainless with barrel band and black synthetic stock; the International Carbine models in blue or stainless with full-length Mannlicher-type checkered hardwood stock; the Deluxe Sporter version in blue only with checkered walnut stock and no barrel band; and the Target Models in blue or stainless with hammer-forged, spiral-finish bull barrels; laminated, target-style uncheckered stocks; and no open sights. All except the 20-inch Target Models feature 18 1/2-inch barrels. Add the .22 Magnum model and there’s a 10/22 for just about any purpose imaginable.

Albeit belatedly, Ruger had actually recognized customers' dissatisfaction with the Mark II's trigger, and the engineers were directed to correct the situation. Wilkinson explained, "We reduced the trigger mass and changed the sear engagement angles slightly to lighten the trigger pull to an average of 4 to 4.25 pounds."

Ruger then went one better by designing retrofit parts to allow adding the transfer bar safety to old model Blackhawks. The company offers to do this free of charge and will return the original parts with the modified revolver, to preserve collector's value.[4]

Unfortunately, the factory issued Ruger Mini-14 (and variants) have one major drawback: ACCURACY! The barrel and design provide typical accuracy of only 3 to 5 inch groups at 100 yards (an average of 4 minutes of angle (4 MOA)); very poor compared to most AR15's. However, a Ruger Mini costs $150 to $250 less than AR15's. It can be said that a Ruger Mini has accuracy comparable to a basic AK47, and that may be as good as most people need for a utilitarian tool like the Mini.

Ruger has to fix the production of the products it's best known for and make a name for itself in other segments of the market, and as Fifer pointed out, that will take some time. The more time goes by, though, the bigger the turnaround challenge gets.
