The Ruger Hawkeye Guide: Built for the Backcountry
The Ruger Hawkeye Guide represents a thoughtful approach to rifle design for hunters and shooters who demand reliability in challenging conditions. This is a rifle engineered for real-world use, not compromise.
Key Features
Barrel and Action
- Cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with 1:10" right-hand twist and 6 grooves
- 20-inch barrel length for manageable handling in thick cover
- Non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor—the most positive case extraction system ever developed
- Fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects empty cases
- One-piece stainless steel bolt for durability and corrosion resistance
Trigger and Safety
- LC6 trigger delivers smooth, crisp performance right from the box
- Three-position safety allows you to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged
Sighting System
- Shallow "express-style" windage-adjustable V-notch rear sight
- Large white bead front sight for instant target acquisition
- Patented integral scope mounts machined directly into the solid-steel receiver (scope rings included)
Stock and Ergonomics
- Green Mountain laminate stock is dimensionally stable across temperature and humidity extremes
- Adjustable length of pull: 12.75" to 14.25" (three 1/2" spacers included)
- Soft rubber buttpad with wrap-around checkering for secure grip in any weather
- Barrel band mounted swivel stud; optional forend swivel stud included
Recoil Management
- Removable radial-port muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil
- Dynamically-matched muzzle weight included as an alternative
- Switching between brake and weight does not shift point of impact
Unloading
- Hinged solid-steel floorplate allows easy unloading without chambering each cartridge
- Engraved Ruger logo with patented flush latch prevents accidental cartridge loss
Why This Rifle Matters
The Hawkeye Guide is purpose-built for hunters who navigate challenging terrain and variable conditions. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, the laminate stock handles environmental extremes, and the removable muzzle brake system lets you choose between recoil reduction and traditional shooting. This is a rifle that works when conditions are less than ideal.
