For the serious marksman, the collector, or the competitive shooter, this pistol is not merely a tool but an heirloom-quality investment that offers an unparalleled shooting experience.

It is the ultimate solution for those who demand consistency, accuracy, and the timeless aesthetic of a purpose-built target machine.
At the heart of this firearm is the iconic 10-inch bull barrel, a feature that immediately distinguishes this model from standard rimfire offerings. Because this barrel provides a significantly longer sight radius and added weight at the muzzle, you will experience a dramatic reduction in felt recoil and muzzle flip. For the customer, this means you can maintain your sight picture through every shot, allowing for rapid follow-up shots that land exactly where you intend them to be. The added mass of the 10-inch profile acts as a natural stabilizer, which is critical when you are trying to tighten your groupings at distances where standard pistols often fail to deliver.
The condition of this specific unit is rated at 0.95, reflecting a level of preservation rarely seen in firearms from 1990. When you purchase a piece in this state, you are bypassing the uncertainty of high-mileage used firearms and acquiring a tool that has been meticulously maintained. The deep blue finish is not only aesthetically striking, providing a classic, professional look that modern coatings cannot replicate, but it also serves as a testament to the care this firearm has received. You are getting a turn-key shooting solution that requires no tuning or restoration, allowing you to head straight from the warehouse to the range with absolute peace of mind regarding its mechanical integrity.
Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, this pistol is the most economical way to master the fundamentals of marksmanship. Because the cost per round is significantly lower than centerfire alternatives, you can afford to spend hours refining your trigger control and breathing techniques without the financial burden of expensive ammunition. This pistol is designed to be the primary training platform for any shooter looking to bridge the gap between casual plinking and competitive bullseye shooting. The legendary Ruger Mark II action is world-renowned for its ability to cycle reliably, meaning you spend your time focused on your target rather than clearing stovepipes or dealing with malfunctions.
Regarding the technical specifications, this Ruger Mark II Target model measures a substantial length, necessitated by its specialized target-grade barrel. The weight distribution is perfectly balanced to favor the lead hand, which minimizes tremor and maximizes comfort during extended sessions. The sights are fully adjustable, ensuring that you can calibrate the firearm to your specific eye preference and ammunition choice. Having been stored in a climate-controlled warehouse, the internal components remain in factory-spec condition, ensuring that the sear engagement and trigger break remain as crisp today as they were when the pistol left the factory floor over three decades ago.
