Ruger Hawkeye Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor 57104

Ruger Hawkeye Hunter: Built for the Serious Hunter

The Hawkeye Hunter represents Ruger's commitment to delivering a rifle that performs equally well on the range and in the field. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor—a cartridge that has earned respect among hunters and precision shooters alike—this rifle combines proven mechanical principles with modern ergonomics.

Mechanical Excellence

Extraction and Ejection: The non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is one of the most positive case extraction systems ever devised. Paired with a fixed blade-type ejector, it ensures reliable ejection of empty cases as the bolt cycles fully rearward. This design has proven itself across generations of rifles.

The Trigger: Ruger's LC6 trigger delivers smooth, crisp performance right out of the box—no gunsmithing required. You'll appreciate the predictable break whether you're shooting groups at 100 yards or taking a shot in the field.

The Barrel: A free-floated, cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with 5R rifling ensures accuracy and longevity. The 22-inch length strikes a balance between velocity and handling. A factory-installed thread protector (5/8"-24) is included, and the barrel accepts standard suppressors if desired.

Ergonomics and Practicality

The American walnut stock features rounded contours that feel natural in your hands. Wrap-around checkering on the grip and forend provides secure purchase in wet or cold conditions. The stock includes studs for sling swivel mounting—a practical touch for hunters who understand that a good sling is essential gear.

Optics Ready

A 20 MOA Picatinny rail is machined directly atop the solid-steel receiver, secured with four screws. This rail provides increased elevation adjustment for long-range shooting without relying on traditional integral scope mounts.
