I wonder if part of it may be the numbers of injection-molded stocks that have to be made for the highly successful RAR's. The stainless versions of the Hawkeye now have laminated rather than "plastic" stocks. It may be that Ruger simply can't make/buy enough injection-molded stocks for the All-Weather Hawkeye--along with most hunters who want (or accept) injection-molded stocks are buying RAR's rather than Hawkeyes.
One thing's for sure: Most firearms companies don't offer what customers aren't buying. At least not for long.
