old willys,
The only reason Ruger is "gutting" the Hawkeye line is because shooters are buying far more RAR's. Firearms companies do not usually keep making guns that aren't selling.

That makes sense, did not realize that the Hawkeye line was doing that poorly.
Now I am thinking I better go on the web and grab a stainless all weather Hawkeye while they are still available.
