I took a chance and bought an M77 Hawkeye in a 358 Win and I'm glad I did. It is a shooter and has become one of my primary rifles for hogs and deer and is my go to woods rifle for elk. It is one fun rifle to carry.

Nice shooting, but I noticed a few problems. First the bolt is on the wrong side; second its not a Remington.

All the carping people do about Rugers sometimes make me think I'm very lucky - every one I've purchased is a shooter. The best is my .22-250 VT, which has put 4 into .5" at 200 yards. But the others aren't bad...

My favorite rifle, a used M77 in .257 Roberts:

An even older 1982 M77 in 7mmRM, shot in winds gusting over 40MPH:

Here's a 2-shot scope check from a 1984 M77 .30-06:

And one from my MKII in .338WM built on a 1994 receiver with a used, factory barrel:

And this, fired from a 2003 MKII with an oiled bore, in .300WM:

Keep them I will.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

My fathers 6mm rem tang safety shoots like that with plain rem corelokts. He is always saying he would have rather had a 243, but with those groups can't justify changing.

I have been looking for a shooter .308 and this one fits the bill. It is at the top of my want list and you just made it worse. I love the bead blasted finish, the heavier dimensions, and I could get used to the color but it's a laminated stock so Oregon won't hurt it much.

We often load up the quads and head out in to the bush for our shooting sessions - so weather proof or as close as you can get to it is always a good thing. Hence my affliction to laminated stocks.

I have a sizable collection of wood stocked guns that all have been weatherized but new innovation turns my crank. I just love the concept of this rifle. It will do anything asked for my philosophy of use.

For me i will use it year round and one can reload for it in all kinds of directions, gotta love the .308 .

I want one, bad. Ahhh what can I sell ???

Do you not find it strange that the only gun you can get to shoot is a Rem wink

I have an opinion as to what your problem is grin
