For the Ruger Hawkeye fans - it sounds like there is some discrepancy in the replies so far; some seem to think they shoot great, and others not so much. Obviously that trend can (and does) occur in all manufactured rifles, but what are the odds of getting a lemon hawkeye vs. a shooter hawkeye? I might be interested in picking one up, but I'm wondering what kind of gamble I would be taking.
I have yet to get a lemon Ruger M77/MKII/Hawkeye and my safe is full of them. The targets I posted above speak for themselves.
That includes the the two Hawkeyes in .308 Win and one in .280 Rem that I've purchased in last 7 months.
I do float the barrels on my Rugers but I do that to all my rifles with one-piece stocks.
