Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger 77 Hawkeye All Weather

It will be interesting to see what this does to the obscene prices of the used ones.

I always liked the Hawkeye All Weather, have owned a few. Just about to get another one but in .338WM. I've owned some rifles that I "just couldn't make myself" take to the wet mountains, ha. I won't mind taking this one at all. Back in 2007, I had a joint replaced in my right wrist. Doc tried to tell me I was done shooting anything right handed, Turns out he was full of hockey doo-doo, ha. But while healing, I had a new All Weather in 338 Federal braked and set up nice. it was a kitten. My SIL killed a nice MD with it. His buddy uses a 338 Fed but in a Tikka, very comparable hunting rifles. My SIL used the 200 NAB and his friend uses the 185 TSX. I never hunted with ti, just shot it some. A few years back, I sold it to buy a new Mod 700 Classic in 338WM. Just too durn nice to take afield, I traded it to a good friend. I don't care what he does with it, I just know my fevered OCD brain couldn't enjoy being in the rain with it, or a white-out during elk season out here, ha. Come on All Weather!

Is their any room on these for a little heavier barrel?
I realize that defeats the purpose of why it was designed but was just wondering.

I advertised my walnut-stocked AW .223 locally a couple of weeks ago at “internet” price and haven’t had a nibble, so I suppose the alleged dearth of .223 bolt-actions isn’t a problem around here. Seems to be AR country, based on what I see at the public range, and maybe Savage country.

weird.. I have a walnut/blued hawkeye 223, One of my favorite rifles

It's funny how it seems like many people on the fire complained about the stainless M77 Hawkeyes not being offered by Ruger anymore , since a couple of years back. Now Ruger is offering them again, but from the consensus on the fire here it appears people are not jumping on them because they are too expensive. Prices are up on about all guns. When Ruger turns off the tap again, you will hear those same people piss'n and moaning about not being able to get stainless Hawkeyes anymore. RJ

Yikes...I would love one but I'm scared to see the Canadian pricing when they make it up here.

Still, probably a "buy once, cry once" proposition.

It is human nature to covet that which you cannot have.

My .308 AW is one of the last rifles I could see letting go. I thought about reboring it to .358, but I am sitting on a pile of stuff for .308 that will run this rifle for my grandchildren, once the kids hand it down. Only thing I am needing are some 110-130 weight bullets to try in it. Loaded down with 150 bt and 165 and 180 Power points, but interested in trying some 130 and 110 ttsx and 125 AB loads. That rifle and its 1-4x and 3-9x SS scopes covers every bit of large game hunting I am ever likely to do, with little fear of failure.

Currently I've got a Hawkeye stainless with wood and laminate stock, stainless scout rifle 308 laminate, stainless hawkeye 338win and two 375 stainless Hawkeyes. Got a few blued models too, and yes sir they're left hand models. My 270 Hawkeye is a bit heavy but it's really fun to shoot and easy to shoot. Beside the 308win this 270 is the one I've had real success with factory ammo and really good result with my own loaded ammo 3ven though I'm not the best reloaded. I wish there were more lefty options but they're really hard to find.

OMG!!!! Yes! Take one of these any day over some Model 700 pile of crap....

Well, I talked with at least one Canadian retailer who has a bunch on order. Dangit looks like I'm selling a kidney lol. If they are making 6.5 CM rifles that aren't ultralights that is.

I bought a SS Hawkeye in 338 FED for $600 back in 2017 as part of a duplicate 3 rifle set in 223 REM, 6.5CM, and 338 FED. Glad that I did when I did.

I have been looking around to see if these are coming out in anything other than 30-06 and 308 in standard and 6.5 Creed in Ultralight. Nothing else.

That's it eh?

Wouldn't exactly break my heart to pick up a 308 Standard.

Ruger Hawkeye All Weather, 308Win 22" barrel. I'm into this one for about 1k, Most likely the last one I'll sell. Bought new back in 2009.

What kind of accuracy do y’all get with these in 308?

My .308 Standard All Weather is a legit 1" or less at 100yds. Occasionally I'm up to it also.

They look good in walnut, if you can find a take-off. Net price for the upgrade was $75, after selling the Tupperware®️

When they first came out my Son had bought one in 270 Win. He's sold it since and I hate myself for not buying it. It was the most accurate 77 I've shot
