[bleep] me.
THinking one of the new LH SS Hawkeyes in .223, punched ai for the boy. First cf repeater.
Talk me off the ledge. Would ideally rather a LH 700 retubed to fast twist vanilla 22-250, but dammit...........
Pros and cons on the Ruger.
Input appreciated. Only two cons to a Ruger Hawkeye: 1) If you have to bed it, it's a PITA, but ND did a really good pictorial about it on these forums and 2) You WILL need to have the trigger adjusted. its better than the old ones, but not good enough...have that done when you punch it out. Otherwise I couldnt say a bad thing about a Ruger...I see them get more heavy use and abuse in this country, and Alaska that all others put together... Bedding is a given, as is likely a replacement bang switch. schit......

Pros and cons on the Ruger.
Input appreciated. Buy. Run as is in SAAMI. 223. Open bolt face down the road if the need arises. Still a LH stainless CRF action that will never break. Travis If he's gonna poke schit with a .22 it's going to be scooting.

Pros and cons on the Ruger.
Input appreciated. Would be inclined to buy now, punch it later if the desire lingers. Less aggravation to rebarrel a 700 perhaps, dunno about that. Thinking the 700 would be cheaper too, but not entirely certain about that either. I like Bill Ruger's philosophy about production gun design and a number of other things as well, just never owned one that didn't need tweakin' along the way to make it run, regardless of action or chamber. Being past the production line phase of life, leaves me to fall back on the 700 SUX and a fella can do worse than that from the start. Balancing loot vs. performance, I don't think you'll do much better either. Vanilla .22-250s ain't all that vanilla after all...
I am..........disturbed.

I've told BGG, Tikka..
But he won't listen.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

They won't use your stock....
But they are coming out with a Model 51 this year. Repeater in the 223 family. 223AI and 6x45 are two of their standard chamberings. They will twist to your standards on a custom order.
Thank you sir for your timely response. Now GFY. Are repeaters something new to their line of rifles? Travis Took me while to respond....been out breaking in my new Ruger American Rifle. The 51 is new. They've not had a 223 repeater. You'll need one of these....
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

My wife had stoppers custom made because my pecker is so long. Like those ones you use on hydraulic cylinders.

RL, or anyone else,do you know the LOP on a Tikka? All I can find is it says adjustable with spacers. 13.5 inches of stunning Finnish beauty. I don't know what the [bleep] they're talking about with spacers.
