Posts: 9 | I did a search before posting and could not find what I was looking for.
I have acquired a Ruger Mark II Target .22LR with a serial number 210-87610. I am trying to determine what year this was made and approx value.
I have looked at the Ruger serial chart but could not find numbers starting with 210-***** ... any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Location: Ohio , U.S.A. | welcome to the Forum, I think you'll find those 'first' 3 digit prefix guns came into being in 1984................jumped from #19 to #210
I sold one of them in the MK512 ( 5 1/2 inch bull barrel) yesterday at the gun show for $275, the same serial number range, came in a yellow/black ,one-piece box and just ONE magazine

I measured from end of barrel up to end of serial number. I get 6 7/8 from bolt face (just left of serial) to end of barrel You gotta love us novices .... so officially what do I have ... A Mark II Target or MK678 or are they the same thing .... ???

So the correct way to measure is from the bolt face? The correct terminology would be measuring from the chamber to the end of the barrel. The bolt, when fully forward, will almost be touching the chamber (rear of barrel).

Location: Ohio , U.S.A. | yes that is definitely a 6 7/8 in barrel, can tell by the 'taper' to the barrel, the 5 1/2 inch is a 'bull barrel' ...then there is always the elusive MK514 it has a taper also and is only 5 1/4 inch..but the picture above is of the longer one, NICE gun and a GREAT deal (bargain???)

Box, Paperwork and Accessories: This rifle includes a black nylon weave sling that shows light handling wear, some light thinning on the buckles, and rates in Fine condition.
Our Assessment: The Ruger M77 is a robust Bolt-Action rifle designed in 1968 by L. James Sullivan during his short three-years of work with Ruger. Intended to be a modernized Mauser 98, it featured simplified ejector updates and a newly designed safety system. This rifle dates back to 1992, and features changes made in the first major re-tooling this series underwent, including a three-position safety and an open bolt-face. In Fine-plus overall condition, this rifle is in excellent shape. Good luck and happy bidding!
