The Ruger Hawkeye Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor is a bolt-action rifle (Ruger part no. 57120) built on a left-hand action for southpaw shooters who don’t want to compromise on fit or feel. A satin stainless steel barreled action pairs with a checkered American walnut stock for a rifle that looks as good in the truck as it shoots on the range. The Mauser-type controlled-round-feed extractor and fixed blade ejector give this action one of the most positive case-extraction systems in the business, while the hinged steel floorplate makes unloading fast and simple. Built for hunters who want dependable long-range performance from a classic-styled sporting rifle, it’s equally at home on a deer lease or a mountain hunt. Ruger backs the Hawkeye Hunter with the fit and finish this rifle line is known for.
