The 18 in alloy-steel barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and ships with a thread protector, giving shooters an easy path to brake or suppressor use. Its medium contour aids heat management without adding unnecessary weight, and Ruger’s cold-hammer-forging process promotes long service life.
Ruger’s Power Bedding V-block system secures the action to the moss-green synthetic stock, enhancing repeatable accuracy. The soft rubber recoil pad and integral sling studs add practical comfort and carry options.
The tang-mounted, two-position safety is intuitive to operate from shooting positions, while the Marksman Adjustable trigger can be user-set between 3 lb and 5 lb to suit individual preference.
A factory Picatinny scope rail and lack of iron sights keep the sighting system flexible. Combined with the rifle’s 13.75 in length of pull and full-size dimensions, the platform balances well for field or range use.
