This pistol is in fantastic condition with a great bore! It includes one magazine. In the early 1980s, the U.S. armed forces made it known that they wanted a new .22 target pistol that would be extremely accurate for high-level service bullseye target competition. Ruger responded and won the contract from the Army’s Rock Island Arsenal in 1983. The gun they came up with could place 10 consecutive shots into a circle measuring 1.25" or less at 25 yards from a machine rest, which was the military requirement for a new target pistol. Ruger shipped over 18,000 of these pistols to the U.S Army.
