Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger Hawkeye All Weather dicontinued ?

Ruger isn`t listing the Hawkeye All Weather on their website.
Maybe they`re coming out with a different finish to the stainless steel??
Maybe bringing back the boat paddle stock??

Or maybe they are following Remington's marketing strategy?

Nah, Ruger has to be better than that!

The Hawkeye All Weather was discontinued....

along with the ultralites....

Only stainless Hawkeyes now have laminated stocks. Predator, Target, Scout, etc.

There are a lot still in the pipe, though.

I have an All-Weather stock listed on Gunbroker

Maybe they figure they don't need a synthetic stock on a Hawkeye since they have the American.

Likely.

The sales slump following the Panic Surge probably has cause a glut of stuff on hand. No sense making more until that thins out. Nothing stops them from cranking up production again when the inventory drops.

They're going to concentrate on what sells. It's just good business.

And the left hand M77 Hawkeyes.

If I was putting money on it, I'd say a new rifle was coming.

Yeah. The people have spoken. Let's build cheap, throw-away schit........

'Twould be my thought as well. Hopefully not all models come with a brake...

Make sure Ruger knows there is NO shame in 1 piece bottom metal.

People haven't liked the finish on the All Weather Hawkeye from the first. I don't think it's gotten any more popular. I'm hoping something else is in the hopper. There are some available on CDNN. Get them while you can.

CDNN has some stainless ultralights in various calibers for $549.00
I`ve been eyeballin em for the last couple weeks.
Just pulled the trigger on a 243.

Hmmmm, maybe... Hopefully they aren't discontinuing the lefty's like someone else mentioned..

I had always heard they only put up on the site what they're currently making. That is when they do a run of lefty's - it will be up there, when they stop - it's off etc.

Dunno truth on that.

Not for you or me or a bunch of the other reactionary old farts on here, but otherwise, yeah pretty much.

It's a throwaway world.

Ruger discontinued the left hand Hawkeyes at the beginning of this year. There are a still several left here and there, Bud's has some for around $660 but CDNN is selling them for $549.99. Get'em while they last...

I hope they manufacture composite stocks for the 77's like these. http://ruger.com/products/gunsiteScoutRifle/models.html
Apparently these are not cheap plastic stocks according to some of the reviews I have read, maybe someone on the forum can shed more light on this. I would think if they make them in-house it should not be too big a problem to manufacture a stainless 77 with a composite stock.

When I called Ruger several months ago, I asked if the new scout was a true composite (Kevlar, fiberglass, etc...) or injected plastic. I was told that it was plastic.
Since then my desire for the "composite scout rifle" has diminished.
