- Pair of Ruger stainless steel scope rings (factory)
The 26-inch heavy barrel is made from stainless steel and ends with a recessed crown, helping to protect the rifling and maintain shot consistency. Its 1:9 RH twist rate comfortably stabilizes a broad range of .223 Rem bullet weights favored by target shooters.
Ruger’s Mark II action incorporates a full-length claw extractor for positive controlled-round feeding and a three-position wing safety that allows safe loading and unloading. The internal hinged floorplate magazine holds five rounds while keeping the rifle’s profile sleek.
The brown laminated hardwood stock offers rigidity and stability across varying temperatures, with a pistol grip and rubber recoil pad for secure, repeatable shoulder placement. The wide, flat fore-end provides a steady rest on bags or bipods during bench work.
Integral scope bases are machined directly into the receiver, and the included stainless rings let you mount optics without extra hardware. Combined with the matte stainless finish on both barrel and receiver, the rifle is engineered to resist corrosion and minimize glare.
