    The Ruger 416 Hawkeye Alaskan 'Revisited'

    Just re.d a call today from Ruger. I was advised that my rifle has been 'gone over' extensively, the magazine box has been changed, the guide rails reground, the feed ramp polished etc, etc. Supposedly the rifle has been exhaustively tested after being reworked and now feeds flawlessly...

    The Ruger 416 Hawkeye Alaskan 'Revisited'

    Hi guys, thanks for all the comments so far. Just an update, as of yesterday, my Buddy has spoken directly to a senior manager at Ruger. He was told that the individual has never heard of this problem and will be 'discussing it' with 'production'! We are still optimistic of a resolution of...

    The Ruger 416 Hawkeye Alaskan 'Revisited'

    :evil: Has anyone on here bought, owned, fired on of these things using the companion Factory Hornady ammo? Some of these rifles finally found their way to Canada where upon a buddy and I both thought they looked like a short handy package with 'thump. Iintended to use mine for bear and Moose...
