Ruger Mark IV Target 22 LR Pistol

While the heavily redesigned Mark IV Target maintains the same classic outward appearance as the Mark III, it incorporates a significant improvement customers will love – a simple, one-button takedown for quick and easy field-stripping. A recessed button in the back of the frame allows the upper receiver to tilt up and off of the grip frame without the use of tools. The bolt simply slides out of the receiver and the barrel can be properly cleaned from chamber to muzzle.

Other significant improvements include a one-piece grip frame that is precision CNC-machined from a solid piece of stainless steel; an ambidextrous manual safety and a redesigned bolt stop for more ergonomic operation. The magazine drops free on release for faster reloads and a redesigned magazine disconnect safety prevents discharge when the magazine has been removed. Internal improvements include changes to the hammer, sear, bolt and firing pin for smoother, more reliable feeding.

Ruger redesigned the platform of their famous 22 pistol to make the Mark IV™ Target Semi-Auto Rimfire Pistol with a simple rear-mounted takedown button and a frame-mounted pivot pin that eliminate the complexities of field stripping previous models. The Mark IV pistol disassembles and reassembles easily, allowing proper chamber to muzzle cleaning. The Stainless Steel Mark IV Target utilizes a single-piece, precision CNC-machined stainless steel grip frame. A 5-1/2″ stainless steel bull barrel balances the pistol superbly in the shooter’s hand to reach its full accuracy potential. A partridge-style, target front sight, a fully adjustable target rear sight provide an outstanding sight picture, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for attaching a Picatinny-style rail. The target trigger breaks crisp and clean. A manual, ambidextrous thumb safety locks the sear, while allowing the pistol to be loaded and unloaded when engaged, and a magazine disconnect prevents the pistol from firing once the magazine is removed. The Mark IV model does not have a loaded chamber indicator on the side of the receiver or an internal key lock. The Ruger Mark IV Target is a great semi-auto rimfire pistol for target practice, formal shooting competitions, or hunting. Comes with two 10-round magazines.
