When I bought this rifle I was looking for something I could use for Hunting and Long range target shooting and be completely reliable under any environmental conditions. This Hawkeye was not made to turn heads but I think it is beautiful for simplicity and ruggedness. The dark grey stainless barrel is much darker in person than the picture. With federal gold medal match I have put 1/4 in groups at 100 yards using a swfa Super Sniper 10X42. I have the weigatinny ruger rail adapter so I cant say how well the scope sits with the stock rings because the rail raises it higher. It is worth noting that with a bipod installed and the weight of the barrel bearing down, the hogue stock will lightly touch the barrel. This is usually a no go for long range shooters who preach a free floating barrel is a MUST. My experience with this rifle has proved that wrong, and the soft rubber i believe has little to no effect on accuracy at all compared to a wood or hard polymer stock. The stock touches the barrel LIGHTLY in the same place, only when its resting on your bipod! it is not heavily resting on the barrel at all. In the buds picture of it looks like there are 2 separate bipod mounts, but there is only the 1 mounted closest to the muzzle. There are not many you tube videos about this rifle, but there are some for the rem 700 with the hogue stock and most shooters say the same thing about non free floating hogue.

Love the Rifle, and Buds is Great :)
