The Ruger Hawkeye series, particularly the FTW Hunter model chambered in .375 Ruger, stands as an example of engineering excellence. At its core is the non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor—renowned for being one of the most reliable case extraction systems ever devised. Complementing this is a fixed blade-type ejector that ensures spent cases are positively ejected as you operate the bolt.
This rifle incorporates a three-position safety system, allowing shooters to lock or load and unload with assurance while maintaining safety engagement. The design includes a hinged solid-steel floorplate for effortless unloading without cycling each cartridge through the chamber—a practical feature when handling your firearm.
Aesthetically pleasing yet functionally superior, this rifle features an engraved FTW Hunter logo along with a patented latch integrated flush within the trigger guard to prevent any unintentional release of cartridges. The Pro-Series H-S Precision stock boasts a tan-black speckled finish with advanced Pro-Center technology; it offers both durability and comfort due to its full-length aluminum bedding block and sleek pistol grip.
For those who seek accuracy over longer distances, this model comes equipped with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail secured by four #8-40 screws—enhancing elevation capabilities beyond traditional scope mounts machined directly onto its solid-steel receiver. Further contributing to precision shooting is the LC6 trigger known for delivering smooth performance right out of the box.
The cold hammer-forged barrel promises ultra-precise rifling which translates into exceptional accuracy paired with longevity—a crucial aspect whether on range or field expeditions. Additionally, ruggedness defines every part from its one-piece stainless steel bolt down to included studs ready for sling swivel attachments.
An innovative Ruger Muzzle Brake System accompanies this model featuring removable radial-port brakes significantly reducing felt recoil; should circumstances call otherwise it's easily replaced by an included dynamically-matched muzzle weight without altering point-of-impact per load choice—or simply opt-in using provided thread protector if neither accessory suits current needs at hand.
