ruger hawkeye tactical

i'm interested in hearing from any of you that have experience with the ruger hawkeye tactical rifle. i've had many good M77 and like the idea of a patrol size accurate rifle. Leaning toward building one but Factory rifle if worthwhile would fit the bill.

I was on the fence between the tactical and a 77VT in 6.5 creedmoor and th 6.5 won out but their was a very informative write up on gunblast.com.Still hav'nt ruled a tactical out.

Lion hunter I'm in the same boat as you but my feeling it's going to be to heavy as it's listed at 8&3/4 pounds check out the weights of the Rem SPS tactical & the VTR 7.5 pounds. Savage Precision carbine also 7.0 pounds Weatherby vangaurd predator at 8.0 pounds all much lighter than the ruger.In saying that my m77 rbbz in 7mm mag was supposed to be 8 pounds it is actually 7.2 !!
