Doesn’t look as though the seller is going for the collector market, but rather banking on light and handy and available. An earlier thread here bemoaned the lack of .223 bolt rifles, and after a bit of web poking I had to admit it was true.
I have a Hawkeye AW .223 fitted with a factory walnut stock, and it’s very handsome and a good shooter. Replaced the trigger spring with one from Ernie and it’s pretty good. A little more work would eliminate the tiny bit of creep, but I’m calling it good for now. My HE however, isn’t anyone’s idea of light.
Last week I called my dealer about one of the new CZ 600 Lux models (7” twist), but those are still a dream for now.
