If you look at the completed auctions on Gun Broker, blue/wood Ruger Hawkeyes chambered .204 are selling (actually sale price) for $700 to $800. Laminated versions are selling in the $850 to $900 range. One Left Hand, Blue, Walnut just sold for $759.
Would that price be for new ones? I ask that question because I paid less than that for mine that I bought on gunbroker.
I just use GB completed, actually sold, auction prices as a barometer of what a "Ready, Willing, and Able" buyer might pay for a firearm. As far as Ruger Hawkeyes, I'm not a Ruger guy, so, have no clue. Just reporting out a few recent sales. Although, would not be the first time that rifles went up in value after being dumped at clearance prices to make room for new inventory.
