Ruger Mark III Competition Target .22 LR Stainless – 7-Inch Bull Barrel, 2006 Production
This 2006 Ruger Mark III Competition Target pistol pairs the series’ proven blowback action with a 6.88-inch slab-sided bull barrel in satin stainless steel. Discontinued in 2016, the Competition Target variant is known for its match-grade barrel, cocobolo laminate thumb-rest grips, and built-in scope rail—features that make it a standout rimfire for precision shooting or collection.

Built on an all-stainless frame and receiver, this full-size Mark III wears a satin finish that resists corrosion and cleans easily after extended range sessions. The integral rail atop the receiver accepts optics without additional bases, while the standard Patridge front sight and fully adjustable rear sight give precise alignment out of the box.
The 6.88-inch slab-sided bull barrel delivers excellent balance and heat management. A 1:16 right-hand twist stabilizes a wide range of .22 LR loads, and the recessed target crown helps protect accuracy in the long term.
Checkered laminated wood grips in a rich cocobolo tone feature a right-hand thumb rest, locking your hand into a consistent position for repeatable shot placement. A push-button magazine release speeds reloads, and five factory 10-round magazines keep you shooting between breaks.
Safety features include a manual thumb safety, loaded-chamber indicator, magazine disconnect, and internal key lock. Combined with a crisp single-action trigger and familiar knife-shaped bolt ears, the pistol offers secure handling and straightforward operation.
