Best (inexpensive) way to improve Ruger Target Mark IV trigger?

[hminsky]

I have a new Mark IV Ruger target .22 pistol. The trigger is not very good at all. Anyone know some reasonably inexpensive way to improve it? Is there the equivalent to a 'drop in' mechanism? Or anyone around locally (Metrowest) who does this kind of basic work?

I have a Mark II I bought used which has an amazing trigger, I don't know if its because it was broken in extensively , or if the previous owner did work on it, or if they just made them differently back then.

Tim Gostling at Gartman did mine.

Excellent job!

Does Volsquarten (or however you spell them) have a sear for the IV yet. I have that and the trigger on my mk III and love it. Installed it myself no problem.

I don't know what inexpensive means to you, but the volquartsen sear and disconnector is 50 bucks and worth every cent in a mark 3, so I assume it would be great for your gun,

I bought the Volquartsen Accurizing Kit for $85 on sale in 2017. It changed the trigger pull weight from 4.5 lbs to 2 lbs.

I had the VQ trigger kit installed in my Mk IV and it made a huge difference. Forget what I paid but it wasn't ridiculous and completely changed the shooting experience with the pistol. Just do it.

What's inexpensive to me, may not be inexpensive to you.

Do they make these for Browning Buckmarks too?
