Hawkeye African in 223

Anybody have any production figures on this variation?

I don't see it on the Ruger site. Is it really limited production?

There have been two small runs, I am told. the second was quite recent. This is only the second time that a centerfire 223 bolt rifle has been built with both sights and rings. The first was a SS black synthetic stocked 77 MKII at the end of the run of MKII's. Is already a rare gun, either variety. 8)

Think there may be an error on the website and the photo posted, based on the disclaimer below the photo.

From what I've seen a model 7199 is a HKM77LRBBZ in .270 WIN, looks like a left hand Hawkeye in stainless with a black on black laminated stock, (P. 80 & 82 of Reference of Ruger Firearms 8-1/2" x 11" version) so it may be worthwhile to double check with the Gun shop.

Interested in the .223 version of the MK77RSEX MKII (no known model number I'm aware of) if there are ones out there as well.

Contact the distributor Acusport and ask if they have the gun. Ruger Sales Mgmt tells me that is their gun......Mfg number is 17199, he advised.

Hawkeye,

Thanks, looked at the web page and the model listed there is a 7199, looks like they left off the "1" and should be a 17199.

Did some checking and sounds right based on MSRP I was quoted (big bucks).

Appreciate it!
