Ruger Mark IV Target 22 LR 5.5 in 10rd Blued Laminate

Description

The Ruger Mark IV Target 22 LR 5.5 in 10rd Blued Laminate is a precision rimfire pistol built for steady hands and sharp eyes. It pairs a heavy bull barrel with a one-piece machined grip frame for consistent sight-to-barrel alignment, making it a favorite among target shooters and small-game hunters alike. The .22 Long Rifle action feeds reliably from a 10-round magazine, and the one-button takedown simplifies field stripping for quick cleaning. This blued laminate model combines classic looks with modern engineering.

Key Features

• One-Button Takedown: Why it matters – field stripping and cleaning take seconds, not minutes, so you spend more time shooting and less time fussing with tools.
• Heavy Bull Barrel: Why it matters – the 5.5-inch bull profile reduces muzzle flip and barrel whip, delivering tighter groups at 25 yards and beyond.
• Laminate Target Grips: Why it matters – the wood laminate provides a secure, comfortable hold that absorbs vibration, helping you maintain a consistent grip shot after shot.
• Adjustable Rear Sight: Why it matters – fine-tune windage and elevation without tools, ensuring your point of aim matches point of impact for every target.
• Drilled and Tapped Receiver: Why it matters – mount a red dot or scope easily for precision shooting, expanding your options for competition or varmint hunting.

Who It’s For

This pistol is built for the serious rimfire shooter who values accuracy and reliability. It suits bullseye competitors, squirrel hunters, and plinkers who want a consistent, low-recoil platform. The easy takedown appeals to shooters who clean after every session, and the laminate grips offer a classic feel for traditionalists.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Accurate bull barrel, quick takedown, adjustable sights, optic-ready receiver, comfortable laminate grips.
• Cons: The blued finish requires regular wipe-downs to prevent rust in humid climates, and the 5.5-inch barrel may feel muzzle-heavy for some shooters during long sessions.
