Product Overview
The Ruger Hawkeye African rifle is engineered for demanding field applications, prioritizing robust performance and repeatable precision. Chambered in .375 Ruger, this platform provides the necessary power and reliability for large game encounters, integrating established design principles with contemporary manufacturing.
Key Features
Trigger System
The LC6 trigger unit delivers a smooth, crisp pull from the factory, directly contributing to enhanced accuracy potential in both range and field environments. This consistent trigger engagement supports precise shot placement.
Controlled-Round Feed Action
This rifle incorporates a non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor. This design provides the most positive case extraction system available, ensuring reliable cycling under adverse conditions. A fixed blade-type ejector reliably clears spent casings as the bolt reaches its rearmost position. The hinged solid-steel floorplate facilitates safe and efficient unloading without the requirement to cycle each cartridge through the chamber.
Barrel Engineering
The 23-inch cold hammer-forged barrel features ultra-precise rifling, optimizing projectile stability and contributing to exceptional accuracy. This manufacturing process also enhances barrel longevity and simplifies cleaning procedures. The barrel is threaded, providing versatility for muzzle devices.
Stock Design
The American Walnut fixed stock is ergonomically contoured, providing a secure and comfortable interface. Rounded contours along the barrel, bottom of the stock, and pistol grip optimize handling. Wrap-around checkering on the grip and forend enhances purchase and control, particularly in wet or gloved conditions.
Sighting System
Equipped with shallow “express-style” windage-adjustable “V” notch rear sight and a large white bead front sight, this system facilitates rapid target acquisition in dynamic scenarios. The steel receiver features integral scope mounts for direct optic attachment, offering a robust and low-profile mounting solution.
