Ruger Hawkeye Hunter .243 16.6 inch Satin Blue Bolt Action Rifle

The Ruger Hawkeye Hunter .243 with a 16.6-inch satin blue barrel brings the Hawkeye series' reputation for reliability and field-ready performance to hunters and range professionals who demand controlled feeding, solid extraction and straightforward operation, and its non-rotating Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor with a fixed blade ejector ensures positive case extraction during follow-up shots on deer or varmints. The hinged solid-steel floorplate and patented flush latch let you unload quickly at the bench or in the blind without cycling each cartridge, while the three-position safety allows you to lock the bolt or load and unload with the safety engaged for secure handling during stalking or stalking setups. An ergonomically contoured stock with wrap-around checkering offers a confident grip for off-hand shots or long glassing sessions, and the free-floated, cold hammer-forged threaded barrel with factory thread protector delivers consistent accuracy and long life whether you're shooting factory loads or handloads for longer-range varmint work. Integral scope mounts on the solid-steel receiver and included scope rings provide a rigid platform for optics, the LC6 trigger gives a smooth, crisp pull out of the box for tighter groups, and the one-piece stainless bolt adds rugged durability for seasons of use; this bolt-action rifle is a practical, search-friendly choice for hunters seeking a reliable .243 Ruger Hawkeye hunting rifle that transfers through an FFL.
