The Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter (brand part no. 57163) gives left-handed hunters a dedicated 6.5 PRC action instead of a converted right-hand rifle, built around a non-rotating Mauser-type controlled-round-feed extractor and a Pro-Series H-S Precision tan-black speckled stock. A 20 MOA Picatinny rail ships installed for long-range elevation adjustment, and Ruger’s Muzzle Brake System lets shooters swap between a recoil-reducing brake and a matched weight without shifting point of impact, giving left-handed shooters the same field-proven FTW Hunter features as the right-hand model.
