Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why couldn't Ruger just build a lighter weight Hawkeye?

I like them. In fact, I've got two. My first was a 308 that I bought about the same time as Mule Deer got his. (Do you still have yours John?)

They get rained on, bumped and bounced with no ill effects. I like the tang safety, the lighter weight and they shoot pretty good too! They are a rifle version of the Jeep Wrangler.

Be nice to the black rifle shooters. That style of rifle (autoloading) is familiar to a lot of shooters from their time in the army. They are taking up much more space in a hunter's rifle rack!

Black is the new brown! (But admittedly, not everyone's cup of tea.)
