Found a Hawkeye in satin blue and synthetic stocked in 308 Win, for $929 CAN ($727.31 USD). With the exchange rate being what it is and current shortages, decided to jump on it, in all its blocky, rectangular, investment cast glory.

Doubt I'll care much if it aint the smoothest and the trigger is not a Jewell, when I actually hunt with it. Just want a rifle I can take out no matter where or when, that feels sturdier than an American, Savage etc. Think it'll do just fine. We'll see when it arrives.
