Ruger Hawkeye Hunter .308 Winchester
The Hawkeye Hunter represents Ruger's commitment to building a rifle that works hard in the field and performs consistently at the range. Chambered in .308 Winchester with a 16.6-inch free-floated threaded barrel, this rifle delivers the accuracy and handling characteristics serious hunters demand.
Reliability and Extraction
At the heart of the Hawkeye Hunter lies a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor—one of the most positive case extraction systems ever developed. A fixed blade-type ejector positively ejects empty cases as the bolt cycles fully rearward, ensuring reliable function in all conditions. The one-piece stainless steel bolt is built to last.
Accuracy and Precision
The free-floated barrel is cold hammer-forged, resulting in ultra-precise rifling that delivers exceptional accuracy and longevity. The barrel arrives threaded (5/8x24) with a factory-installed thread protector, ready for suppressor installation or muzzle device upgrades. Integral scope mounts are machined directly into the solid-steel receiver, providing a stable mounting surface that eliminates potential sources of looseness in the field. Included scope rings make setup straightforward.
Ergonomics and Control
The LC6 trigger breaks cleanly and crisply right out of the box, enhancing accuracy whether you're shooting prone or from a hunting position. The three-position safety is easily accessible and allows you to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged. A hinged solid-steel floorplate simplifies unloading without cycling each cartridge through the chamber.
Stock and Handling
The American walnut stock features rounded contours along the barrel, bottom of the stock, and top of the pistol grip. Wrap-around checkering on the grip and forend provides secure purchase in all weather. Sling swivel studs are included for quick attachment of your preferred carry system.
