Anyone have any experience with these? Looked at two today. Seem like with a scope they'd make a fun little rabbit gun.

I have the Mk. III. Basically the same gun. Personally, I liked my Browning Buckmark better- just a personal preference; the Ruger is a proven firearm and I have had no issues with it at all.
They can be somewhat challenging to reassemble.

Never heard a bad thing about them from anyone who had one.

You know. This is a crappy place to come to get talked out of buying a gun. Pretty sure I could say I'm buying and old Damascus barrel shotgun and going to shoot slugs out of it and someone will have an idea of how it will work. Going to have to start posting these questions on the Brady Campaign websight.
Seriously though they look like they would flat be a blast with a red dot for shooting bunnies in front of the dogs. Of course I'm more partial to the light version with all the absolutely unnecessary pieces and parts on it.

I have owned several of both and the Brownings were always picky with ammo and the Rugers will reliably feed everything.

You will need to load with black powder of course and determine if there is any choke in the barrels. Loaned my old Navy Arms 12 gauge SxS to a buddy one year for ML season. That 69 caliber round ball left a nasty hole. I was taught not to use a .22 rabbit hunting as most of our hunts were with a group and my Dad did not want us shooting each other, but like anything else YMMV. I have a Ruger MK??? (slant grip) and it shoots with my Hi-Standard. I do think when you ask questions on this site the enablers come out in force, go for it.
