Last I looked, CDNN still had blued/synthetic Hawkeye .280s for $499, a great deal on a solid rifle. I've had several Hawkeyes, still have one. Not a single issue thus far. Prefer Mausers when I can get them, but the HE comes very close, and are available new and easy to get, while finding the right Mauser may take a little looking around.
Look again Pappy, they're $469.
