Ruger Hawkeye African 375 Ruger 23" 3rd Rifle

The Ruger Hawkeye African is a big game rifle built around the 375 Ruger, and model 37186 dresses it in a 23" satin blued barrel and an American walnut stock with an ebony forend cap and wrap around checkering on the grip and forend. It holds 3 rounds in a hinged solid steel floorplate magazine, so you can unload without cycling every round through the chamber.

The Mauser type, non rotating controlled round feed extractor and fixed blade ejector are what you want when a follow up shot matters. A three position safety lets you lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety on, and the LC6 trigger breaks crisp right out of the box. The cold hammer forged barrel is threaded 5/8-18 and wears the Ruger Muzzle Brake System, a removable radial port brake that takes a real bite out of recoil. Express style sights, a windage adjustable shallow V notch rear and a large white bead front, give fast shots at close range, and integral scope mounts machined into the solid steel receiver take the included rings with no separate bases to work loose. A one piece stainless steel bolt, a barrel band swivel stud and an optional forend swivel stud round it out. At 8 lbs it carries well through a long day of tracking and stays steady off the sticks.
