2009 Hawkeye stock

[rimfire458]

Buying a ruger Hawkeye stainless syn from 09.

Question
Were all ruger Hawkeye, s in 358 ultra flimsy?

RUGER OEM synthetic stocks are one of the best standard factory synthetic stocks available... many who were blessed with excellent walnut buy a synthetic for bush work to keep the original in good condition...

Google savage synthetic bedding... then you will read about flimsy stocks.

Yes I encountered that when purchasing one of their first ML10II muzzle loaders. You could almost twist it a 1/4 turn end to end. So got one of their laminates which I wish would have came with wheels

I need a shorter length of pull on mine so I replaced it with a Boyd's. Apparently the plastic ones don't shorten very well.

That add much weight?

Boyd's stocks are heavy, due to the nature of Diamondwood laminate... the birch layers are heavily impregnated with epoxy and result in a very dense material.... you wouldn't want one on a "mountain" rifle... but personally, I like extra weight... it steadies offhand shooting... and carrying an extra pound on my shoulder offsets the extra pounds around my waist.
