The Government Target Model roll-mark and stainless bull barrel set this pistol apart from standard Mark II variants. The heavy 6.875-inch barrel, recessed crown, and match chamber were engineered for consistent accuracy and minimal muzzle movement.
Stainless construction throughout—slide, frame, and receiver—all wearing Ruger’s smooth satin finish, offers durability and hassle-free maintenance. Dual grasping ears on the bolt make charging positive and intuitive, while the heel magazine release preserves the classic rimfire target-pistol layout.
Target-grade iron sights come factory-installed: a Patridge-style front blade pairs with a fully adjustable square-notch rear, allowing precise elevation and windage adjustments to dial in any load. Safety features include a left-side manual thumb safety and a magazine disconnect.
The Pachmayr Signature Model wrap-around rubber grips are a tasteful customization that provide a more secure, vibration-dampening hold without altering the pistol’s lines. If preferred, original-style panels can be fitted with standard Ruger hardware.
This KMK678G embodies the Mark II line’s reputation for reliability and accuracy, backed by its included factory test target and period-correct case—ideal for shooters and collectors who appreciate a purpose-built target rimfire from the early 1990s.
