Ruger Mark II Target .22 LR, 5.5-inch Bull Barrel, Blued, Target-Style Sighting Provisions, Discontinued Configuration
This Ruger Mark II Target is a discontinued configuration featuring a 5.5-inch bull barrel, target-style sighting provisions, and a blued steel construction. It reflects the classic Mark II feature set with a heel-type magazine catch and automatic last-shot bolt hold-open. The observed 210- serial prefix aligns with late-1980s production. No magazine is provided. The adjustable target rear sight is missing on this example; the receiver retains the milled pocket and tapped mounting holes for it.

What’s Included
- Ruger Mark II Target .22 LR pistol
- No magazine is provided
- Rear sight assembly not included
The Target configuration centers on a 5.5-inch alloy-steel bull barrel with a blued finish and a non-threaded muzzle. Sighting is via a tall pinned front blade; the adjustable rear target sight is not present on this example, though the receiver retains the mounting cuts and holes.
Built on the Mark II architecture, this model uses a fixed tubular upper with an internal cylindrical bolt operating on a straight blowback action. The frame is steel with a matching blued finish, complemented by checkered black synthetic grip panels; one panel displays a Ruger medallion while the opposite panel is plain.
Controls follow the Mark II pattern: a heel-type magazine catch, a thumb safety, and an automatic last-shot bolt hold-open with a dedicated bolt release. The pistol can be single-loaded and is currently configured without a magazine.
The observed 210- serial prefix corresponds with late-1980s production blocks for the Mark II series.
