Ruger 77 Hawkeye 338 Win. Mag Satin/Blue - Stainless/Silver, 24" Barrel, 2 + 1 Rounds, Wood Stock

I didn't really want a .338 Mag, but I needed a new R77 to play with and it was $110.00 cheaper than the other Hawkeyes. The rifle shoots good groups with just about all factory and handloads I've tried in it. It prints different loads in quite different places, but isn't fussy about ammo. The ring holding on the claw extractor was way too tight and it took some polishing to fix. The inside of the magazine box was covered with surface rust. Not Cosmoline but rust. Disheartening on a factory new rifle. Over all it's a nice rifle for the price and I'll probably keep it for a long time. Recoil doesn't seem as severe as other .338 mags I've shot. Hawkeye stock design works.
