The Ruger Hawkeye Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor is a precision-built bolt-action rifle designed for both hunting and long-range shooting. It features a free-floated, cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with 5R rifling, ensuring enhanced accuracy and durability. The barrel’s minimum bore and groove dimensions, combined with minimal headspace and a centralized chamber, optimize performance for consistent shot placement. The rugged, one-piece stainless steel bolt provides reliability and smooth operation, while the LC6 trigger offers a crisp, clean break, enhancing shooting precision right out of the box.
The rifle is equipped with a non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor, regarded as one of the most positive case extraction systems, and a fixed blade-type ejector that ensures reliable ejection of spent cartridges. A hinged, solid-steel floorplate allows for quick and easy unloading without chambering each round. The engraved Ruger logo and patented flush-mounted latch prevent accidental cartridge dumps, adding to its safety features.
For long-range targeting, the rifle includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail secured with four #8-40 screws, providing increased elevation capabilities over standard scope mounts machined directly on the receiver. The three-position safety is conveniently accessible, allowing the user to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged. Weighing approximately 7.2 pounds, the rifle has a beautiful silver finish complemented by a traditional walnut stock, making it both functional and aesthetically appealing. Designed for right-handed shooters, the Ruger Hawkeye Hunter combines rugged construction with refined accuracy, making it an excellent choice for hunters and precision shooters alike.
