Description
The non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented. It features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. The hinged, solid-steel floorplate allows for easy unloading without having to chamber each cartridge. It also features an engraved Ruger logo and a patented latch that is flush with the trigger guard to avoid accidental dumping of cartridges.
The three-position safety is easily accessible and allows the shooter to lock the bolt or to load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged. The Hogue® OverMolded® stock is molded from durable synthetic rubber, providing a soft, recoil-absorbing feel without affecting accuracy.
The cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling, offering exceptional accuracy and longevity. It includes a shallow “express-style” windage-adjustable V-notch rear sight and a large white bead front sight for instant target acquisition.
Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for the included scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field. The LC6™ trigger features smooth, crisp performance right out of the box for increased accuracy on the range or in the field.
The rifle features a rugged, one-piece, stainless steel bolt. The Ruger® Muzzle Brake System includes a removable, radial-port muzzle brake that significantly reduces felt recoil. For times when the brake is not preferred, it may be replaced by the included dynamically-matched muzzle weight. Switching between the brake and the weight will not change the bullet’s point of impact for a particular load. The included thread protector may be used if neither the brake nor the weight is desired.
