The Ruger Mark IV Competition features a cold hammer-forged, 6.88" slab-sided bull barrel and hardwood laminate, thumbrest competition grips. The grip frame is CNC machined from one solid piece of stainless steel. The fully adjustable target sights are mounted on the barreled receiver for permanent sight-to-barrel alignment, a design with greater inherent accuracy potential than moving-slide designs. The all stainless steel model weighs an impressive 45.8 ounces for maximum stability in bullseye competition.
Like all pistols in the Mark IV family, the 22/45 Tactical Competition model features a simple, one-button takedown for quick and easy field-stripping, ambidextrous manual safety and a redesigned bolt stop for more ergonomic operation. The magazines drop 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. The Mark IV is compatible with a variety of Mark III aftermarket accessories including sights, scope bases and holsters.
Your hunt is over, yup, this is the one to buy... If you like .22s w/o a doubt this is it... I put a red dot on mine by sightmark... You will be punching holes easily in a five inch circle at 50 yds. I am just slightly over being a average shot with this gun but it makes me look good... Buy it, you will NOT be disappointed.. All shots with this pistol was off of sandbags.
