Bored and want a new rifle- never a bad reason to buy a new rifle. I own three 30-06 M77's and this is my go to round here in Utah for deer and elk. It has never failed me. Thinking of messing around with a HKM77RLFP- Hawkeye ultralight in 30-06.
20inch barrel
synthetic stock
matte stainless
I Have three standard Hawkeyes in various calibers-like the rifle and know it well.
My question is for those of you who own one in this configuration - of course the barrel is shorter but is the contour smaller diameter? Just looking at where they cut the weight. How does it measure up to a standard 22 inch? Is there really that much difference? They stopped production so, something sounds as though it didn't go right?
Any info would be appreciated-did a forum search and didnt come up with much.
