Description
The Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter .300 Win Mag 24″ Threaded SS 57155 is built for the hunter who expects to take shots at distance, in rough country, without second-guessing his gear. This full-size bolt-action pairs Ruger’s cold hammer-forged stainless barrel with an HS Precision synthetic stock, giving you a stable platform that tracks recoil and holds zero. Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, it delivers the energy you need for elk, moose, and big bear, while the factory-installed 20 MOA Picatinny rail gives you room to dial elevation on your scope. It’s a purpose-driven rifle that handles like a field gun and shoots like a precision rig.

Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 24″ stainless barrel, threaded — WHY IT MATTERS: This barrel is hammer-forged from 400-series stainless steel, which means it’s tough, corrosion-resistant, and holds accuracy round after round. The 5/8″-24 threads let you mount a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith visit.
- HS Precision synthetic stock with aluminum bedding block — WHY IT MATTERS: The stock is rigid, free-floats the barrel, and the aluminum block locks the action in place. You get consistent bedding that doesn’t shift with temperature or humidity — critical for long-range field shooting.
- Factory 20 MOA Picatinny rail — WHY IT MATTERS: Instead of buying an aftermarket rail, Ruger includes a 20 MOA rail from the factory. This gives you extra elevation adjustment on your scope, so you can dial out past 800 yards without running out of turret travel.
- LC6 adjustable trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: The LC6 trigger breaks cleanly and is user-adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds. You can set it exactly where you want for a crisp, predictable pull — no creep, no surprises.
- Ruger Muzzle Brake System — WHY IT MATTERS: The factory-installed brake reduces felt recoil noticeably, letting you spot your own hits and stay on target for follow-up shots. It’s removable if you prefer a bare muzzle or suppressor.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who spends time behind a spotting scope, reading wind, and making ethical shots at extended ranges. It’s suited for western big-game hunts where shots can stretch from 300 to 700 yards, and for hunters who want a rifle that can double as a target gun during the off-season. If you’re looking for a lightweight mountain rifle, this isn’t it — but if you want a stable, accurate platform that handles heavy recoil, the FTW Hunter fits.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Factory 20 MOA rail saves you $100+ and the hassle of mounting a separate rail.
- Pro: Cold hammer-forged barrel with threaded muzzle gives you suppressor-ready capability right out of the box.
- Pro: HS Precision stock with aluminum bedding provides repeatable accuracy in a field-ready package.
- Con: At 9.1 pounds unloaded, it’s heavier than some dedicated mountain rifles — expect to feel it on long pack-outs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the barrel twist rate on the Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter .300 Win Mag?
The barrel has a 1:10″ twist rate, which stabilizes bullet weights from 150 to 220 grains — ideal for .300 Win Mag hunting loads and long-range match bullets.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle without modification?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8″-24 from the factory and comes with a thread protector. The Ruger Muzzle Brake is removable, so you can attach a suppressor directly to the threads.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?
The HS Precision stock is not adjustable; it’s a fixed synthetic stock with a comb height designed for standard scope mounts. The 20 MOA rail helps with cheek weld on high-magnification scopes.
Does the rifle come with a scope or rings?
No. The Ruger Hawkeye FTW Hunter is sold as a barreled action and stock only. It includes the 20 MOA Picatinny rail, but you’ll need to supply rings and a scope.
What is the magazine capacity for this model?
The rifle uses a 3-round rotary magazine, which is standard for the Hawkeye line in magnum calibers. It feeds reliably and allows for single-loading if needed.
