I really like the Ruger Mk II's over the Hawkeyes. I also prefer the Zytel stocks over the black tuperwares. It's easy to add a Limbsaver on the Zytel stocks and man it doesn't make a difference the caliber they are very easy to handle. I prefer 30-06 and 338WM either will make a handy working rifle for anything I can think of. The MK II Stainless has very tight pores and while you can get some freckling, they fight off rust pretty well. Those Ruger sights are nice and handy as well. Course if you need a working rifle you need a back up. MIne are Winchesters mod 70's. My 338 is a push feed but my 30-06 is a classic stainless. Actually both are stainless. So long as you have 2 rifles in the same caliber that shoots the same bullet you should be good.
