Ruger Hawkeye Predator 22-250 Rem 24" 4rd Stainless Rifle

The Ruger Hawkeye Predator is a varmint and predator rifle built on the M77 Hawkeye action, here in fast stepping 22-250 Remington. Metal is matte stainless throughout, including a 24" medium contour cold hammer forged barrel, and it sits in a Green Mountain laminate stock with wrap around checkering on the grip and forend and a recoil pad. The internal magazine holds 4 rounds and unloads through a hinged solid steel floorplate, so you never have to cycle live rounds through the action to clear it.

What sets the Predator apart from a standard Hawkeye is the two stage adjustable target trigger: a short take up, then a crisp break, which matters when you are reaching out for a coyote across a field. The non rotating Mauser type controlled round feed extractor and fixed blade ejector handle the brass, and the three position safety lets you lock the bolt or load and unload on safe. Scope mounts are machined into the solid steel receiver and Ruger includes the rings. It weighs about 8 lbs, enough heft to stay steady off a bipod or shooting sticks.
