The Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter (brand part no. 57153) chambers 6.5 PRC around a non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled-round-feed extractor, among the most positive case extraction systems ever designed, paired with a fixed blade-type ejector that clears empty cases every time. A Pro-Series H-S Precision tan-black speckled stock rides on a full-length aluminum bedding block, and the cold hammer-forged barrel delivers the accuracy the FTW Hunter name is built on. Ruger’s Muzzle Brake System lets shooters swap between a recoil-reducing brake and a dynamically matched weight without shifting point of impact.
