This Gen 1 configuration is identifiable by its Samson Evolution Series 12.37 free-float aluminum handguard with a continuous, T-marked top Picatinny rail. The action uses a three-lug bolt with an approximately 70-degree throw and an oversize bolt knob for confident manipulation. It accepts AICS and SR-25/M110/DPMS/Magpul-pattern short-action magazines and has a 5+1 capacity.
The 20 in heavy-profile barrel is unfluted, made from 4140 chrome-moly steel, and cold hammer-forged with 5R rifling. It features a 1:10 in right-hand twist and a 5/8-24 threaded muzzle. This setup supports precise performance with durable construction.

A Ruger-branded pistol grip complements the chassis, while the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows external pull-weight adjustment. The rifle uses a manual safety and a smooth bolt-action system.
