This Ruger Mark III Target 60th Anniversary is a 2009 TALO Exclusive commemorative that marks 60 years of Ruger rimfire pistols (1949–2009). It features distinctive laminated wood grips with the Ruger phoenix and a "Sixty Years 1949–2009" ribbon, a polished blued alloy-steel build with a silver-finished bolt, and a 5.5" bull barrel with fully adjustable target sights. It comes with two magazines, the original case, and the factory Weaver-style scope base.
The commemorative details set this example apart. The dark laminated grip panels are unique to the anniversary edition and highlight the TALO limited-run status. Cataloged as MKIII512-60 (Model 10136), it represents a specific 2009 production variant sought by Ruger rimfire enthusiasts and collectors.
Built on the steel Mark III frame, this pistol uses a simple blowback action and a single-action trigger. It has a push-button magazine release, a manual thumb safety, a loaded chamber indicator, and a magazine disconnect. Capacity is 10+1 with the included Ruger Mark III pattern steel magazines.
Target features include a 5.5" bull/heavy alloy-steel barrel, a square-post front sight, and a fully adjustable rear target sight for precise zeroing. The polished blued finish contrasts with the silver-finished bolt for a clean anniversary presentation.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope base, and this pistol includes the Ruger Weaver-style base with mounting screws. It ships with the original Ruger factory hard case and manual, reinforcing completeness for both use and collection.
