Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter .308 Win 22" Rifle

Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter .308 Winchester

The Hawkeye FTW Hunter represents Ruger's commitment to building a rifle that performs equally well on the range and in the field. This is a serious tool for hunters and shooters who demand reliability, accuracy, and manageable recoil.

Extraction and Feeding

At the heart of this rifle lies a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor—one of the most positive case extraction systems ever developed. The fixed blade-type ejector positively ejects empty cases as the bolt cycles fully rearward, ensuring reliable feeding and extraction in all conditions.

The hinged solid-steel floorplate allows quick unloading without chambering each cartridge individually. A patented latch sits flush with the trigger guard, preventing accidental cartridge dumping.

Accuracy and Ergonomics

• Cold hammer-forged barrel delivers ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and barrel longevity
• 20 MOA Picatinny rail (secured with four #8-40 screws) provides increased elevation adjustment for long-range shooting beyond traditional integral scope mounts
• LC6 trigger offers smooth, crisp performance right out of the box
• Three-position safety is easily accessible and allows bolt locking or safe loading/unloading

Stock and Handling

The Pro-Series H-S Precision synthetic stock features a tan-black speckled finish that blends into most hunting environments. A full-length aluminum bedding block ensures consistent accuracy, while the slender pistol grip with Pro-Center technology promotes natural pointing and control.

Recoil Management

The Ruger Muzzle Brake System is a standout feature. The removable radial-port muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate. When the brake isn't needed, swap it for the included dynamically-matched muzzle weight—switching between them won't shift your point of impact.

A thread protector is included if you prefer to run the rifle without either brake or weight.

Additional Features

• Rugged one-piece stainless steel bolt
• Matte stainless steel threaded barrel
• Stainless steel receiver
• Sling swivel studs included
• 4-round magazine capacity
• 22-inch barrel

This is a rifle built for hunters and shooters who understand that reliability and accuracy aren't luxuries—they're necessities.
