Personally I vastly prefer the Mk II stainless to the Hawkeye AW. I don't care for the finish on the AW it scratches too easily and looks like crap after a while. The MK II is the perfect rifle for all weather such as what you get in Alaska. My sentiments exactly!
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
