Ruger did it with their Ruger American Rimfire rifle. Out of the box, one of the very best budget rimfire rifles you can buy.Ruger should wake up and smell the coffee like Savage did. For years people on these forums were asking about which varmint rifle they should get and the answer was always, "Get a Savage and spend the money you save on an aftermarket trigger."
Finally Savage realized if people were willing to pay more for a better trigger, it would make sense to put a good trigger on the rifle to begin with.
Ruger should do the same with the MKIII.
And while they're at it, make the gun easier to strip and clean.
They also now manufacture a drop in trigger for their 10/22's which reduces the trigger pull down to about 4# and is very crisp.
I don't think the stock MK III trigger is that bad, it is just it can be made so much better if one decides to do it.
Field stripping a MK III can be done in well under a minute BLINDFOLDED if you know the correct position to have the pistol in while you are doing it. See the videos that Ruger has on their website.
