Description
The Volquartsen TL 2000 is the upgrade a lot of Ruger Mark II and Mark III owners reach for once they get tired of the loose, rattly feel of the stock rear sight. Every part of it is CNC milled from a solid steel billet, so instead of a sight that flexes and shifts, you get one that holds its zero and clicks with authority through the whole windage and elevation range. It drops right into the factory dovetail and locks down with two set screws, no gunsmithing needed for the standard install.
What Sets the TL 2000 Apart From the Factory Blade
The rear leaf is serrated with a slight reverse angle, which cuts glare and sharpens up your sight picture in bright conditions. The notch runs .110" wide, giving you a clean, defined aiming reference that plenty of folks find easier to line up than the stock Ruger notch. Owners consistently point to the tighter, more positive clicks and the total lack of slop as the biggest wins over the original sight assembly.
Fitting the TL 2000 to Your Ruger
This version is built to replace the factory adjustable rear sight and pairs with your existing front sight on Mark I and Mark II pistols. Worth knowing before you order: the TL 2000 sits a touch taller than the factory rear sight, so on shorter barrels it can shoot a little high with everything cranked all the way down. A taller front sight sorts that out easily, and on longer 6 7/8" and up barrels most people find plenty of adjustment room to zero at 25 yards.
Volquartsen has been building precision rimfire parts for decades, and this sight carries that same reputation. It is a straightforward, well-made piece that turns a good plinker or target pistol into something noticeably more precise to shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TL 2000 fit my Ruger Mark III?
Yes, the TL 2000 is designed to replace the factory adjustable rear sight on Ruger Mark I, Mark II, and Mark III pistols that came with a factory adjustable sight. It uses the existing dovetail and works with your factory front sight. If you have a Standard tapered barrel model, keep in mind it can sit taller than stock.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the TL 2000?
For most installs, no. The sight drops into the factory dovetail and locks down with two set screws, so it is a job most owners handle at home with basic tools and a brass punch. Some fits may need a light touch of filing to seat perfectly, so take your time and test fit as you go.
Why does the TL 2000 shoot high on my shorter barrel?
The TL 2000 sits slightly taller than the factory Ruger rear sight, so on barrels shorter than about 6 7/8" it can print high even with elevation bottomed out. Pairing it with a taller front sight corrects the point of impact. On longer barrels you will generally find plenty of adjustment range to zero at 25 yards.
What makes the TL 2000 better than the factory sight?
It is machined from solid steel, so there is no wobble or slop like the stock Ruger assembly. The clicks are firmer and more repeatable, and the serrated reverse-angle rear leaf cuts glare for a cleaner sight picture. The .110" notch also gives you a crisp, defined aiming point.
