Features 

 
The 26-inch heavy-contour barrel uses 5R rifling, which reduces fouling and improves consistency across strings. The Ruger Precision Rifle Hybrid Muzzle Brake cuts recoil noticeably without excessive side blast. The two-stage adjustable trigger has a short take-up first stage followed by a crisp break. The stock adjusts for both comb height and length of pull, with QD attachment points and a flush-mounted lower M-Lok rail. The three-position safety allows the bolt to be opened for unloading with the safety engaged.

The M77 Hawkeye LR Target Gen 3 in 6.5 PRC draws strong reviews for accuracy and the 6.5 PRC cartridge's flat trajectory at long range. The adjustable trigger gets consistent praise. Build quality and the bolt action's smooth operation are regularly highlighted.

Weight is the dominant criticism at 11 lbs. It's a bench and competition gun, and most owners recognize that, but it's impractical for carrying in the field. Price draws comparisons to similarly-equipped competition rifles. Aftermarket accessory availability, while decent, comes up occasionally. These are expected limitations of a purpose-built long-range platform.
