I was just curious if anyone here has a newer ruger Hawkeye and what you think of it. I have been really soured on the old Mk77 ruger rifles because to be perfectly honest all of them I've ever been around were terrible shooters. I've had three family members that have or had them. My brother in law has one in 270 that shoots somewhere around 2-3 moa, my dad had one in 22 hornet that was about the same and my brother had one in 223 that was utterly hopeless with any ammo. Honestly nobody I've ever talked to with one had much any better to say about the M77 for accuracy.
I was just wondering with the new American rifles being so accurate which I have seen for myself, I wonder if ruger redid there whole barrel program and are using the same barrels for the Hawkeye's now. I've been planning for a new Winchester model 70 but was just thinking if ruger has managed to figure out how to make the hawkeye a decent shooter I might go that route instead.
