The RUGER HAWKEYE is a modern bolt-action platform designed for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy, durable construction, and practical field features. Built around a solid-steel receiver and a cold hammer-forged barrel, this rifle blends traditional controlled-feed reliability with contemporary ergonomics and recoil management.

RUGER HAWKEYE

Action, Extraction, and Loading Features

At the core is a non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor — one of the most positive case extraction systems invented — paired with a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects empties when the bolt is cycled. A hinged, solid-steel floorplate lets you unload quickly without chambering each round, and the engraved FTW Hunter logo conceals a patented latch that sits flush with the trigger guard to prevent accidental dumping of cartridges.

Optics Interface and Safety

The receiver includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail secured with four #8-40 screws to provide increased long-range elevation capability over machined integral scope mounts. This makes dialing in extra elevation simpler for precision work without compromising the receiver’s rigidity. A three-position safety is intuitively placed to allow the shooter to lock the bolt or safely load and unload with the safety engaged — a practical detail for both range and backcountry use.

Chassis, Trigger, Barrel and Muzzle System

The Pro-Series H-S Precision tan-black speckled synthetic stock includes a full-length aluminum bedding block and a slender pistol grip with Pro-Center technology to promote consistent trigger finger placement. The LC6 trigger delivers a smooth, crisp break out of the box, complementing the cold hammer-forged barrel and one-piece stainless-steel bolt for repeatable accuracy and long service life.

Ruger’s Muzzle Brake System is a standout: a removable radial-port muzzle brake that significantly reduces felt recoil, plus a dynamically-matched muzzle weight for shooters who prefer a no-brake profile. Swapping brake and weight does not alter point of impact for a given load, and a thread protector is included if neither is desired. The rifle also ships with studs for sling swivels to support field carry. For full product specifics and current pricing of $1,605.99, View product details and pricing.
