The 26 in barrel is cold hammer-forged from chrome-moly steel with a heavy contour and 5R rifling, providing a durable bore and consistent shot-to-shot performance. Muzzle threads are 3/4"-24 and fitted with Ruger's factory three-port magnum brake to help manage recoil in the .338 Lapua chambering. Twist rate is 1:9.375" RH to stabilize a wide range of .338 projectiles.
The magnum-pattern action uses a DLC-coated, three-lug bolt with a 70° throw for smooth cycling and scope clearance. Ruger's Marksman Adjustable trigger offers external user adjustment, allowing precise tuning to preference. Feeding is via an AICS-pattern detachable magazine system, and capacity is 5+1.
The aluminum chassis is finished in Smoked Bronze Cerakote and pairs with a folding stock that offers adjustable length of pull, cheekpiece, and buttpad. A rear bag rider and a Magpul MOE-K2-XL grip support a solid, repeatable interface for prone or supported shooting. Length of pull on this rifle is set at 14.5 in.
An 18 in free-float aluminum handguard with M-LOK slots provides rigid accessory mounting while keeping the barrel free of contact. Up top, a 30 MOA Picatinny optics rail expands elevation adjustment for extended-distance zeroing. The receiver uses a steel upper with an aluminum lower, and the overall two-tone finish presents Smoked Bronze Cerakote with black accents.
