Ruger Mark II Target .22 LR Bull Barrel Semi-Auto Pistol (1988)
This 1988 Ruger Mark II Target combines the platform’s renowned reliability with a factory bull barrel that delivers excellent balance and repeatable accuracy. Built entirely from blued alloy steel, it predates the later Mark III design changes, giving shooters the classic, uncluttered controls of the original Target series.

The fixed barrel and internal bolt design anchor the sights directly to the barrel, providing precise sight-to-bore alignment favored by target shooters.
Ruger’s heavy bull barrel adds mass out front, dampening muzzle movement for steadier off-hand shooting and quicker follow-up shots.
This early Target variant lacks the magazine disconnect and loaded-chamber indicator found on later Mark III models, preserving a cleaner trigger pull and simplified manual of arms. A heel-style magazine release maintains the original European influence of the line.
Iron sights consist of a ramp-style Patridge front blade and a fully adjustable square-notch rear, allowing precise zeroing with a wide range of .22 LR loads. The checkered black synthetic panels with Ruger medallions give a secure grip while resisting moisture and wear.
