The Ruger Mark II Government Target Model

[rockquarry]

I bought a new MK I bull barrel gun about fifty years ago and a Gov't. Model Mark II about thirty-five years ago. Both guns have been fired extensively using mostly CCI SV ammo. Both pistols are 100% straight-out-of-the-box. I shoot Bullseye style at 25 yds. (sometimes 50).

Each gun is quite accurate and I can see virtually no accuracy difference in the two. Fatigue sets in a little earlier with the Gov't. because of the longer and heavier barrel, but that may not affect other shooters in the same way it does me.

I got my MKII in a trade in 1995. Serial says 1986. It always shoots better than I can. I hand it to other, usually younger, shooters at the range, and they all shoot 1" or so groups at 25 yards. Any 22LR ammo I've bought for the past nearly 40 years seems to shoot the same in it. I've shot Mk III's and IV's, and they are not the same.

When I was stationed in VA I wanted a MK-I. I didn't care how they shot, and as I've posted elsewhere, I'm not impressed with the name. Add a few years and I finely could afford one. Mine has the 6 7/8" barrel and I'm really pleased with its ability to put rounds down range and into the target in a nice neat hole. In my book they are the best looking of the Rugar MK's
