Detailed Features: 

 
The Ruger Marksman Adjustable Trigger has a pull weight adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds, which gives shooters room to dial in a crisp release without sending it to a gunsmith. The Power Bedding system locks the receiver in place while letting the barrel float freely, which helps consistency across shot strings. 
 
The cold hammer-forged barrel contributes to long-term durability and bore consistency. A tang safety sits where the thumb naturally falls when shouldering the rifle. The lightweight synthetic stock handles rough conditions without requiring much maintenance.
