POS ruger hawkeye

For some reason Im havin hard time letting my Ruher m77 mkii Go........... an thats got nothing to do with the bubbles in the Bolt and whatnot :):))
 
I love my Ruger bolt guns MK2's, Hawkeye's and original 77's, I also love my Tikka's , but lately I have discovered what to me is he best bolt guns ever made the CRF Winchester M70 I have three now and can't believe how smooth and accurate they are. I can't believe I have ignored them for the past thirty years.
 
I have a NIB 1991 M77 tang safety (last year of the M77) on its way to me. I have plenty of quality rifles to compare it to. We'll see how nice it is. I am pretty excited, as it's my first modern bolt action chambered in 7x57.
I bought one in 1978 brand new. I couldn't believe that someone (thanks bill Ruger) would make a new modern 7x57. I shot the barrel out of it . I took Boat loads of game and targets too. Never let me down and shot very accurately. I now have a mkii and a Hawkeye and both are great shooters. Rugers are good stuff.
 
Woof! That’s some nasty machine work on your stainless classic. Mine have all looked good but I’ve only ever owned them in the 6 digit range and I’ve heard those are the best. How many digits is yours?


No gummy feel on the Mk2’s. Never a MK2 needed smoothing out ime.
The machining on some Model 70’s is nothing to write home about
