Just a heads up to anyone that may want it. Elk County Ammo and Arms has one for sale. Expensive. But they are hard to come by. https://ammoandarmsstore.com/47118/

Still available. I'm surpised. But maybe that recoil pad is putting folks off.

It ain’t just the pad that’s fugly. That stock is atrocious. What are the laminates made of, vomit?

It is a very busy gun. But I recall some folks on this sight commenting they wanted one in .30-06. There it is. In all it's Elephant-man-esque beauty. They don't come up for sale very often.

Stock laminate colors and recoil pad are nothing new. Same stock on 1 or 2 cartridge offerings in the Hawkeye Predator line.
Camo stock and adjustable LOP.

A guy I know has one, he put it in a B&C. Weighs 7lbs 11 oz in the B&C stock. He's getting it rebored to 35 whelen. I bet it'll go 7.5 lbs after the rebore. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/7ZTJK904/IMG-0390.jpg)

A $1250 ruger hawkeye that needs a new stock is a tough swallow.

They sell fast up here in Alaska. I think the prices are reasonable.
Was offered that b&c stocked guide gun at $1000.
Another one in 30-06 just sold in fairbanks for $900, new in box.

Yeah. A great action and nice barrels but between the muzzle brake and the odd butt it’s not a 77 I’d ever own. Only useful to me as a donor.

I'd take it just the way it is. Maybe I'm too "modern"

Mb I don’t think a man could ever go wrong with a 9.3x62, so yeah sure. But really, that action and the New Haven M70s are the last of the reliable actions for a working rifle

Really wish Ruger would just bring back the standard Hawkeye in walnut/blued. Enough with the bizarre pads and 20MOA rails and the hideous muzzle on the hunter model...

I had one that I planned to put into a boat paddle stock I have. The barrel contour was just too heavy for what I wanted and someone offered me good money for it. I thought about having it rebored to 9.3x62 but I was able to get enough money out of it to get a good start on a custom.
I used to have a stainless synthetic 338 rcm with open sights on a 20" barrel and I liked to carry it. The guide gun was much heavier. If they'd do a stainless synthetic 30-06 with their standard sporter in 20" with sights I'd buy one.
