The Ruger Hawkeye series stands as a testament to the time-honored principles of precision and reliability. At its core, this rifle features a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor—widely regarded as one of the most positive case extraction systems ever created. This system, coupled with a fixed blade-type ejector, ensures that empty cases are ejected positively and efficiently each time you retract the bolt.
This model is equipped with an easily accessible three-position safety mechanism. It allows for locking the bolt or loading and unloading while keeping safety engaged—a feature that enhances both security and operational versatility in any situation.
The Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter also boasts a hinged solid-steel floorplate that simplifies unloading without necessitating chambering each cartridge individually. The engraved FTW Hunter logo adds an element of distinction, while the patented latch design integrates seamlessly with the trigger guard to prevent accidental cartridge discharge.
Outfitted with a tan-black speckled synthetic stock by H-S Precision, this rifle includes Pro-Series technology featuring a full-length aluminum bedding block for enhanced stability. Its slender pistol grip offers optimal handling comfort whether at rest or in action.
A cold hammer-forged barrel provides ultra-precise rifling—a characteristic vital for achieving superior accuracy over extended use. Additionally, it incorporates Ruger's Muzzle Brake System; choose between reducing felt recoil via its radial-port muzzle brake or maintaining traditional performance using the included dynamically-matched muzzle weight—all without altering your bullet's point of impact.
An LC6 trigger comes standard on this model offering smooth crisp performance straight from unboxing which significantly contributes towards improved accuracy either during practice sessions on range days or out hunting game under varied field conditions alike!
