I will take 1, 3, 4, and 5

Mine was made in 2011 and did not have a band, so somewhere in there they changed.

This one has a barrel band sling swivel. The early ones did not.

The new generation thinks little of walnut and blued steel.

Just picked the rifle up and it is just as advertised. Weighs 6.14 lbs. Up to 8.01 with scope, rings and fully loaded. Going to test her out on Saturday.

For Rugers and CZs you cant beat em.

We agree on that

Never mind. I ordered them.

Or high rings

Anybody got a set they don't need before I order from Anchorage?

correct

I have had a set before. Had them on my Alaskan .416 Ruger. I would not shoot a Hawkeye without them. I prefer to use open sights while moving and then slip the scope on when I settle in.

The rest of you owe me then. But, this looks to be my dream Appalachian Mountain bear/deer set up. Hopefully I will report back with a big mountain buck or 400 lb bear. Now for some Alaska Arms rings and the right scope.

I bought it. Nobody saved me.

You are killing me. I have been tracking this rifle on the other forum. These are the hardest to turn away from. I cant afford it but I have the money. Someone buy this rifle and save me.

I just looked through their offerings. It looks like you can pick up a nice piece of lumber pretty cheap.

You and me both brother. I keep coming back to punish myself though.

The 7mm mag caliber will work fine. But, the rifle might not be the best choice. 7mm mags generally have long barrels, and long barrels are a pain in the butt when trying to sneak through some thick brush. 7mm-08, 308, or 6.5 would be great for the short receiver and shorter barrels. I have iron...

Sounds like a dove shoot with centerfire rifles. No thanks.

excellent buck. congratulations

well done

I assumed I knew generally what a gun built with these items would look like. Not for me.

I don't even know what that stuff is.

Return of The Jedi. I'm glad you made it.

I hate being broke

It looks great. Enjoy your hunt.

That is a perfect looking rifle. The stock looks slimmer than my American stocks. What modifications did you make? What does the rifle weigh?

Recommendations depend on many factors. Will you be packing your elk out? Do you just need a day pack to carry extra clothing, water, etc? Will you be hunting in the mountains? You have to have the right gear to deal with varied weather, but I argue a Hunter should never make compromises when...

I like the Hogue as well. It is just a sturdy, and good-looking stock, and I really needed that slip-resistant rubber hunting the North Georgia mountains in freezing rain. I love the setup and am thinking about having one built with the same features and dimensions, but in 9.3x67.

Details? Great buck.

This is a sad reality to me for several reasons. Now, first I will say that I hunt with rifles that are walnut with blued steel. I also hunt with synthetic and stainless, especially in the North Georgia mountains. I also have no problem with people doing their own thing. This apparent...

I think some bit of the criticism is valid. His camara was on the animal. I assume he was using a GoPro and it was mounted on his head or chest. If so, then he was looking in the direction of the buck. Plus, he was talking about something interesting in front of him, so I think he was square to...

I don’t know the laws there, but it is called buckshot for a reason and people do still hunt deer with it when they are in some thick stuff and expect to jump bedding deer and have close shots at them moving quickly.

SOLD

SPF

Steel

These are new factory sights and have never been installed. They came with a 550 American in 9.3x62 that I no longer have. I think the rear sight is made by Williams, at least the sight looks like a Williams. The rear sight assembly is complete with both mounting screws. The front sight...

A monster

Rings are SPF.

I agree. I think it is one of the best options for a quality scope on a budget. It is really light and can handle the recoil of a large caliber rifle.

The scope is sold.

Leupold VX-1 3-9x40. It is matte with a duplex reticle. The rings are Alaska Arms QD, 1 inch, medium height, and for Ruger M77 and Hawkeye rifles. Both fall under the category of “ain’t nothing wrong with them.” The rings held the scope to my Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan through three seasons in the...

sold

This one was one of the early ones. It does not have a muzzle brake or a barrel band swivel stud. It is very accurate. Only 51 down the pipe, but it has been hunted. I have packed it through wilderness areas in both Idaho and Georgia, so it is not perfect. Nothing serious, just a couple of small...

Thanks, that is some good information, and welcome to AH.

That I believe If that is the price it is because it is the market rate. If you can not find one cheaper it is because that is the market rate.

If you see one let me know. Not too many floating around.

$2,500 for a Ruger Alaskan in 416 Ruger?

An old post, but I shoot the 300 grain TSX in my 416 Ruger. The advantage, other than less recoil, is a flatter trajectory. Zeroed at 225 yards I am only 6 inches under at 300 yards. I got to use the 300 tsx on a small bear and a big whitetail this year and neither liked it very much. The bear...
