The Ruger Hawkeye African .338 Win Mag is a full-size bolt action big game rifle with a 23-inch threaded barrel and a 3+1 capacity (Ruger part no. 47120). It pairs a satin blued steel receiver, with an integral scope mount, to an American walnut fixed stock in right-hand configuration. Iron sights are a bead front and an adjustable rear, so the rifle is ready for the field even before an optic goes on. A 3-position safety lets you load and unload with the safety engaged. It is aimed at hunters who want a heavy-cartridge rifle for large game.
