Hawkeye All-Weather

How many of you good people have come to appreciate the butt ugly All-Weather and wish Ruger would make them again?

Count me in. RJ

I wish they still made the all weather with satin stainless instead of the bead blasted finish. As long as I'm wishing, I'll take iron sights too.

Good stuff they are

What brand rings & height are these, I've never seen a scope that low on a 77, looks good.

I guess they`re ok.
I have 4 of em

243

I have them too, and I think they're pretty perfect for the wet mountains I frequent. And I can't imagine that Ruger would think there is no longer a market.

If they'd go back to the satin stainless I'd be buying again.

Nice rifle gunzo

Not my rifle, but I'd be proud to have one like it.

I only have one Hawkeye and its an All Weather .30-06 wearing a Ziess Diavari C.

Basically my worst conditions rifle when I don't want to take my Browning X-bolt out---the main reason the Browning is preferred is that its much lighter----both are good rifles though.

Thats the change I went to, low maintenance worst conditions.

Love my Hawkeye All Weather .280 Rem.

I've got one in .243 that is hard on coyotes. Best shot was just over 450 yards.
They actually get more shinny with use. The bolt handle is like polished stainless after a lot of use.

I vastly prefer the original MkII to the Hawkeye version. But I sure like those MkII's and I still love the Zytel stock. Put a limbsaver on them and while it adds a 1/2" to the LOP, what a wonderful rifle. But the Hawkeye, for an All-Weather is certainly better than nothing. I think it was a mistake to discontinue them.

Leupold low. Just a bit lower than the Ruger 3B-4B

I have 3 New-old-stock ones listed on Gun Broker. Also a used one in 223 Rem.
