Ruger Hawkeye Long-Range Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor

Ruger Hawkeye Long-Range Hunter: Built for Extended Range

The Hawkeye Long-Range Hunter represents Ruger's commitment to precision rifle design. This is a rifle engineered from the ground up for shooters who demand accuracy at extended distances.

Barrel and Action

The heart of this rifle is its free-floated, cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel featuring 5R rifling. This design minimizes bore and groove runout while maintaining precise headspace and chamber concentricity—the foundation of consistent accuracy. The barrel measures 22 inches and is threaded 5/8"-24 for suppressor or muzzle brake compatibility.

The action employs a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor paired with a fixed blade ejector. This combination represents one of the most reliable case extraction systems ever developed, ensuring positive feeding and ejection in all conditions.

Ergonomics and Control

A three-position safety allows you to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged—practical design for field use. The LC6 trigger delivers smooth, crisp performance right out of the box, supporting your accuracy goals without requiring gunsmithing.

The radial-port muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil, allowing faster target reacquisition and more comfortable shooting during extended range sessions.

Optics Platform

A 20 MOA Picatinny rail is secured with four #8-40 screws atop the solid-steel receiver, providing increased elevation capability for long-range shooting. This elevated rail accommodates most modern tactical and hunting scopes.

Stock and Handling

The two-tone speckled black and brown laminate stock features adjustable length of pull (12.75" to 14.25"), accommodating different shooter builds and clothing layers. A soft rubber buttpad reduces recoil impact.
