I think I'd rather have. 20" RAR in 7-08 And enough cash for a scope and a pig hunt.

ringworm - $1300 is a bit pricey. However, it would sure look nice next to my 9.3 X 62mm Hawkeye 'African'...sort of like its younger brother. Both the 9.3 and .275 Rigby are classic's. Homesteader

No tang safety on this; still the 3 position wing.

Well crap - just stopped at the local fun store to see if they knew anything about this one. They pulled up Lipsey's site and said there are 78 available and did I want to order one. Now there should be 77 available and I was told it should be here on Tuesday. They made it too damn easy...

Pretty cool as far as the 7X57 is concerned.
Not sure how you'd find something similar for less.

I still have dies and brass from the last 7X57 I owned. Tempting. Dave

Bringing back the tang safety is a nice touch.
Might be due for glasses. Dave

spendy for a factory 7X57 Mauser This would be true if your last gun purchase was in the early nineties. The standard African's retail for $1,279.00. Clark

Has anyone ever seen a Ruger 77 Hawkeye African in 223 Remington?
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

I think this .275 would generate a lot more pleasure and value over a period of years than a high end custom costing 5-8 times as much.
It will also assist in teaching a rifleman to stalk his prey and enjoy "hunting".
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Has anyone ever seen a Ruger 77 Hawkeye African in 223 Remington? Ingwe has one. Dave They are fun to shoot. With the extra weight they have hardly no felt recoil. Kind of like shooting a 22 LR. I bought one maybe 7 years ago. No idea why, but it is unique and fun.

Not only an instant classic, but a hunting rifle you will use and enjoy.
