The Ruger Hawkeye continues the M77 lineage, and the Hunter configuration is the handsome one: stainless steel paired with American walnut, a combination that resists weather while looking the way a hunting rifle traditionally should. This one carries a 24-inch threaded barrel chambered in .204 Ruger, the cartridge Ruger developed for extreme velocity in a small package. It is a dedicated varmint and predator round, shooting exceptionally flat with negligible recoil so you can watch your own hits through the scope. The threaded muzzle accepts a brake or suppressor, which is a real advantage on a high-volume prairie dog gun.
