The Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter, chambered in the venerable .300 Winchester Magnum, embodies a synthesis of time-honored design and modern innovation. At its core lies the Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor system—a hallmark of reliability that guarantees positive case extraction every time.
This rifle features a fixed blade-type ejector, ensuring empty cases are ejected with precision as you cycle the bolt fully rearward. The three-position safety is intuitively positioned for effortless access, allowing shooters to lock the bolt or load and unload while keeping safety engaged—an essential feature for both range use and field expeditions.
Unloading your ammunition has never been more straightforward thanks to the rugged hinged solid-steel floorplate. This mechanism allows you to remove cartridges without cycling each one through the chamber. Additionally, it bears an engraved FTW Hunter logo alongside a patented latch that integrates seamlessly into the trigger guard to prevent accidental cartridge discharge.
The rifle's 20 MOA Picatinny rail affixed with four #8-40 screws enhances long-range shooting capabilities by offering increased elevation over traditional integral scope mounts directly machined onto its solid-steel receiver. Furthermore, it's equipped with an H-S Precision tan-black speckled synthetic stock featuring Pro-Center technology and a full-length aluminum bedding block—ensuring stability shot after shot.
A cold hammer-forged barrel delivers ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and longevity across countless rounds fired—the kind of performance seasoned hunters demand from their equipment. Complementing this is Ruger's LC6 trigger known for its smoothness straight out of the box, enhancing accuracy whether on paper targets or pursuing game.
The robust one-piece stainless steel bolt works harmoniously with Ruger's Muzzle Brake System which includes options tailored to shooter preference: either employ the radial-port muzzle brake reducing felt recoil significantly or switch it out for a dynamically-matched muzzle weight without altering bullet impact points; thread protectors offer further customization when neither accessory suits current needs.
