The Ruger Hawkeye Guide Gun is built for hunters and outdoorsmen who need a compact, rugged bolt-action rifle chambered for serious big-game cartridges. This model is chambered in 338 Win Mag, giving it the reach, authority, and field capability expected from a powerful magnum hunting rifle while keeping the overall package handy with a 20-inch barrel.

Ruger equips the Guide Gun with a Green Mountain laminate stock designed for dimensional stability in harsh environmental conditions. The stock includes a soft rubber buttpad and removable spacers, allowing the length of pull to be adjusted for different shooters or changing layers of outerwear. Wrap-around checkering helps provide a secure grip in wet, cold, or demanding field conditions.

The stainless steel barreled action wears Ruger’s Hawkeye Matte finish and includes shallow express-style sights with a windage-adjustable V-notch rear sight and large white bead front sight for fast target acquisition. Ruger’s muzzle brake system includes a removable radial-port muzzle brake, a dynamically matched muzzle weight, and a thread protector, giving the shooter options depending on recoil preference and field use.

Mechanically, the Hawkeye Guide Gun stays true to the controlled-round-feed tradition. It uses a non-rotating Mauser-type extractor, fixed blade-type ejector, LC6 trigger, three-position safety, hinged solid-steel floorplate, cold hammer-forged barrel, integral scope mounts machined directly into the receiver, and included scope rings. The result is a compact, weather-resistant, magnum-class hunting rifle built for hard country and serious use.

With its 20-inch stainless barrel, 3-round capacity, adjustable sights, included scope rings, and Ruger muzzle brake system, this Hawkeye Guide Gun is a serious magnum-class hunting rifle for hard country, heavy game, and the hunter who wants a compact rifle with real authority.
