The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger adjusts pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds to suit individual preference. The Power Bedding system positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel, which directly supports shot-to-shot consistency. The two-tone laminate stock has an adjustable comb and length of pull with a rubber buttpad for comfort during long sessions. An extended magazine release speeds reloads. The factory-installed knurled thread protector covers the muzzle threads for suppressor or muzzle-device attachment.
