Grice's in PA had still listed their special run Hawkeyes a couple days ago, if you're not allergic to basket-weave checkering.
What fresh Hell is this?

I got one this week and just sighted in w/200 gr hand-loads I had from a Browning 358 lever. First group @ 100 yards went 1.015". This with 2x7 Leupold Heavy Duplex, 8# trigger and wood touching the barrel. Definitely has potential, with load development, trigger work and free float the barrel this should be an easy sub MOA gun. Always had a weakness for the .358 Win.

That floorplate on the other hand , I can't get past. I'm just going to spend the next year combing GunBroker and classifieds for a Browning or Ruger to rebarrel. Wish they would run some Ruger Americans .

Sadly, Ruger no longer lists any 358s on their website. Looks like it's a Browning BLR or nothing.

I'd rather rebarrel than rebore. That way I get the BBL length I want. Rebore +cut+recrown would probably be the same after work. I'm

I got lucky the other day. My wife works at a local gun shop. I stopped in to visit, and low and behold sitting in the used rack is a cherry tang safety Ruger M77 in .358. Had her put it in lay away, I get it next week. Have an older gloss Burris 1.75-5 on the way from Ebay. Already have loads that I loaded for a previous 358 Hawkeye. I should have it all together for opening day gun season.
