The Hunter configuration centers on a stainless steel, bull-profile barrel with six longitudinal flutes and a recessed target crown. The barrel and sighting system are set up for precision, with a red fiber-optic front sight and a fully adjustable rear sight.
The receiver is brushed stainless and factory drilled and tapped with filler screws installed. The bolt features dual grasping ears, and the action is the proven Mark III semi-automatic blowback system paired with a single-action, smooth-face trigger.
The 22/45 polymer frame delivers the M1911-style grip angle for familiar ergonomics. It is the early molded-panel (pre-RP) variant with molded checkering and Ruger red-phoenix medallions in the grip panels.
