I have been looking for quite some time for a light handling 7mm-08 in blue/walnut configuration. The Hawkeye fits, feels, and points great for me but I could not warm up to the satin blue finish. I have held a few over the past couple years and tried my best to convince myself I can live with that finish but couldn't do it. Last week I had stopped at a very small gun shop that just opened up. He only had about a dozen guns on display and one was a Ruger Hawkeye. I checked it out and to my surprise it had the deep blue finish, walnut stock, in the 7mm-08 caliber, brand new in the box! :shock: My search was finally over and of course it came home with me. 
Did Ruger change the Hawkeye's from a satin finish to blue? Their description still states "satin finish"? I checked the serial number and it seems to have been made sometime this year. I am really excited about my find and can't wait to get it dialed in.
