The Mark II Target configuration pairs a robust 5.5-inch heavy round bull barrel with a one-piece barrel/receiver assembly to promote rigidity and consistent accuracy with .22 LR. The steel construction and blued finish provide a classic Ruger look and feel suited to serious range use.
Target sights include a screw-retained square-blade front and a fully adjustable rear, giving fine control over elevation and windage. This setup delivers a clean, repeatable sight picture tailored for precision shooting.
The straight blowback action uses a cylindrical internal bolt left in-the-white, with dual grasping ears that make charging intuitive. A heel-style magazine catch at the butt is correct for the platform. Capacity is 10+1 with the included steel single-stack magazine.
Markings are correct for the period: the left-side rollmark reads "RUGER .22 CAL. LONG RIFLE MARK II TARGET," and the Southport, Connecticut address is present. The 18-prefix serial indicates early 1980s Southport production in the United States. Black checkered synthetic grips with a single Ruger eagle medallion on the right grip panel round out the factory configuration.
