Key Features
M77 Hawkeye Action
Utilizing the robust Mauser-type controlled-feed action, the Hawkeye FTW Hunter ensures positive cartridge extraction and reliable feeding in all conditions. The integral scope mounts, machined directly into the solid steel receiver, provide a stable and consistent platform for optic mounting, eliminating potential points of failure often associated with separate bases.
Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel
The heavy contour cold hammer-forged barrel ensures exceptional accuracy, longevity, and ease of cleaning. This manufacturing process creates a precisely rifled barrel that maintains consistency shot after shot. The barrel is threaded (5/8″-24) and includes a factory-installed radial muzzle brake, effectively mitigating felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots and enhanced shooter comfort. A thread protector is also supplied for un-braked operation.
Stainless Steel Construction
The barrel, receiver, and bolt are constructed from stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance crucial for prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. This material choice enhances the rifle’s operational lifespan and maintains its integrity in diverse environments.
Hogue OverMolded Stock
Equipped with a tan Hogue OverMolded synthetic stock, this rifle offers a comfortable, non-slip grip regardless of weather. The stock’s elastomer material provides recoil absorption and a secure hold, contributing to consistent shot placement and overall shooter control.
LC6 Trigger System
The crisp, adjustable LC6 trigger offers a clean break, facilitating precise shot execution critical for accurate long-range engagements. Its consistent pull weight and minimal overtravel contribute directly to improved shooter performance.
Three-Position Safety
A reliable three-position safety allows the bolt to be locked, or permits loading and unloading with the safety engaged, providing an additional layer of operational security.
