Pachmayr wraparound grips and two 10-round magazines round out a capable, classic .22 LR target setup.

The Mark I Target configuration features a 6 7/8 in tapered, target-profile barrel and a steel frame and receiver finished in blue. It is chambered in .22 LR and uses Ruger’s straight blowback, semi-automatic action.
Controls and handling reflect the early Mark I design: twin bolt ears for charging, a heel-style magazine release, and a manual safety. Capacity is 10+1 with the included magazines.
The pistol is currently set up with a B-Square clamp-on scope base/rail and a Bushnell Trophy red dot sight. With the mount installed, the factory rear sight is obscured. The front sight is a Patridge blade.
Made in the USA and shipped circa 1960 (pre-prefix serial era), this example pairs period-correct construction with practical upgrades. The Pachmayr wraparound rubber grips with finger grooves provide a secure, hand-filling hold.
