Ruger Mark IV Target | .22 LR | 5.5″ Bull Barrel | 40159

The Ruger Mark IV Target is a classic rimfire semi-automatic pistol configured for accuracy and easy maintenance. It features a 5.5″ bull barrel, drilled-and-tapped receiver for optics, and laminate target grips for a consistent hold. The design emphasizes a simple one-button takedown and a rigid, cylindrical bolt for repeatable sight-to-barrel alignment. For a practical optic option under $1000, consider a compact red-dot such as the Vortex Venom or a similar reflex sight to keep the sight picture quick and unobstructed.

Typical applications include precision target shooting and dedicated range training where consistent point-of-aim and straightforward maintenance are priorities.
