Based on the company's popular Hawkeye Standard, the Hawkeye Hunter features a stainless-steel action and factory-threaded barrel, which pairs well with its traditional American-walnut stock. Atop its action sits a 20-MOA Picatinny rail, making the mounting of optics quick and easy. Within, a Mauser-style claw extractor pulls loose spent shells, while a three-position safety allows the user to lock the bolt, or load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged. When the safety is disengaged, a Ruger LC6 trigger has been installed to send shots downrange.
