The Ruger Hawkeye series stands as a testament to the evolution of rifle design, and the FTW Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor exemplifies this tradition with precision and reliability. At its core is the Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor, renowned for being one of the most positive case extraction systems ever devised. This system ensures that every spent cartridge is ejected with authority by a fixed blade-type ejector when you draw back the robust stainless steel bolt.
The rifle's safety mechanism offers three positions—allowing you to lock the bolt securely or load and unload while keeping safety paramount. The thoughtful engineering extends to its hinged solid-steel floorplate, which facilitates easy unloading without chambering each cartridge individually—a feature further secured by an engraved FTW Hunter logo latch flush with the trigger guard, preventing accidental release.
Equipped for long-range endeavors, it boasts a 20 MOA Picatinny rail affixed firmly atop its machined solid-steel receiver using four #8-40 screws, enhancing elevation potential beyond traditional mounts. Encased within a Pro-Series H-S Precision tan-black speckled synthetic stock featuring Pro-Center technology, it provides stability through a full-length aluminum bedding block paired with a slender pistol grip.
The LC6 trigger delivers crisp performance straight from unboxing—ensuring your shots are true whether on range or field missions. Its cold hammer-forged barrel promises ultra-precise rifling for unmatched accuracy and longevity under rigorous conditions.
A hallmark of modern marksmanship innovation comes in the form of Ruger's Muzzle Brake System: an interchangeable radial-port muzzle brake significantly diminishes felt recoil but can be swapped seamlessly with an included dynamically-matched weight if preferred—all without affecting bullet trajectory at any given load setting thanks to meticulous design consideration; should neither option suit your needs—the thread protector awaits installation.
