Let me say I’m a die hard model 700 guy. I have about 25 model 700 platforms.
I also own a few model 77’s but don’t really love most of them.
Last week I shot a buddy’s new Ruger Hawkeye Long Range Target rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC. I simply couldn’t believe the 300 yard groups we were consistently getting using factory Hornady Match ammo.
Yesterday I found one for $814, unfired so I bought it.
Has anyone else played around with this rifle model and caliber?
Curious to hear your feedback......
 
They shoot..... But if I had to do it over, the Long Range Hunter would be it. Stainless pred contour and slimmer stock makes for a much more usable rifle for things other than bench duty. The LRH does not have the two-sdtage trigger, tho..
