“mark iv hunter”

A variation of the Ruger Standard, the Mark IV Hunter features stainless metalwork with a handsome, brushed satin finish, and a 7-inch bull barrel with six flutes. It's fitted with iron sights, but it's drilled and tapped for optics.

At its introduction, Ruger’s Mark IV .22 Long Rifle pistol was offered in two models and three SKUs. The Target model, available in black or stainless, is the all-business, utilitarian descendent of Bill Ruger’s Standard model rimfire. But for American Rifleman’s Joe Kurtenbach, it’s the Hunter model that truly captures the spirit of Ruger’s original, and capitalizes on the platform’s evolution.
