Ruger Mark II Target .22 LR Stainless 6 7/8-Inch Semi-Automatic Pistol (1987)
Built in 1987, this Ruger Mark II Target pairs a 6 7/8-inch tapered stainless barrel with a satin-brushed stainless frame for a classic, balanced target setup. The heel-style magazine release and absence of a magazine disconnect mark this as a transitional Mark II, valued by shooters who favor the original controls. Fully adjustable target sights and the crisp single-action trigger make it ready for precise rimfire work, while the all-stainless construction offers durability and easy maintenance.

This full-size Mark II Target features the less common 6 7/8-inch tapered barrel, giving shooters a slightly lighter muzzle feel than the bull-barrel variants while preserving sight radius and accuracy potential.
The frame, receiver, and barrel are all stainless steel with a satin-brushed finish that resists corrosion and hides handling marks better than polished surfaces. Checkered black synthetic grips with Ruger phoenix medallions provide secure purchase without adding weight.
A Patridge under-cut front sight teams with a fully adjustable square-notch rear sight, allowing precise zeroing for different loads or distances. The single-action trigger is crisp, supporting accurate off-hand or bench shooting.
The blowback action is reliable with standard or high-velocity .22 LR ammunition. A right-hand thumb safety locks the sear, and the heel-style magazine release keeps the classic Mark series ergonomics intact.
