Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter 6.5 PRC Left-Hand 24"

Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter: Precision Meets Practicality

The Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter represents a thoughtful evolution in modern rifle design, built specifically for hunters and long-range shooters who demand reliability without compromise. This left-handed configuration ensures that southpaw shooters receive the same quality and attention to detail as their right-handed counterparts.

Extraction and Feeding

The non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is one of the most positive case extraction systems ever developed. This design, paired with a fixed blade-type ejector, ensures that empty cases are positively ejected as the bolt moves fully rearward. The hinged solid-steel floorplate allows for easy unloading without cycling each cartridge through the chamber—a practical feature when you need to change loads quickly.

Accuracy and Ergonomics

Barrel and Trigger: The cold hammer-forged barrel delivers ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and longevity. The LC6 trigger provides smooth, crisp performance right out of the box, requiring no break-in period.

Stock: The Pro-Series HS Precision tan-black speckled synthetic stock features a full-length aluminum bedding block and slender pistol grip with Pro-Center technology. This design minimizes shift between shots and provides a natural, comfortable hold.

Optics Platform: The 20 MOA Picatinny rail, secured with four #8-40 screws, provides increased elevation capability for extended-range shooting. This is a significant advantage over traditional integral scope mounts for hunters pursuing game at distance.

Recoil Management and Modularity

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 will not shift your point of impact.

Safety and Control

The three-position safety is easily accessible and allows you to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged. The patented latch is flush with the trigger guard, preventing accidental cartridge dumping.
