I had to come back again today and watch this again just to enjoy it. I've been dreaming of building a precision rifle that I could also hunt with, but I'm waivering because I'm getting old enough now that I just want to see a beautiful walnut stock and three position safety with a long history. These Hawkeye rifles are just honest stainless steel, controlled round feed, high quality for the dollar work horses, and I loved watching this again.

Thank you brother I appreciate it. Gonna try to get some videos on getting a deer with this. I'm just not good at self filming and shooting most my hunting is walking and stalking in lake bottoms and swamps so when I see one it all happens so quick. But I did order me a elevate hang on stand gonna try to get better at carrying in stands and setting up to get a little higher and wait a little longer

Nice rifle. In addition to a stiffer bench, try supporting your right elbow. It works for me.

Go get you some venison! Federal Terminal Assent sure seems to be excellent hunting ammo. Great set up. Happy hunting and stay safe.

Thank you I almost got a shot on a decent 8 point the other day. It was windy wand I was just walking slow thru the woods seen him but it was to many small trees between me and him and couldn't get a clear shot. I'm dying to get a deer with this new rifle. Got a decent 6 point with 270 this year and a doe with my 357 mag rifle. So it's been a decent season but want another badly lol

@@muzzleblast88 Congratulations. Been a tough year here. I usually have a couple or three doe with bow before gun season and only harvested one. Trying to help my teen son get his first compound harvest and we haven't been successful thus far. Still at it late season.

New sub here found your channel researching the Ruger Hawkeye. Really like your content it’s what I really wish more channels were like. I’m in Washington what state are you in? I can barely find deer in season anymore. 😂

Hey, I'm doing well. Can't believe this year is almost over but it's been a good one for me. Looking forward to 2024 and hopefully adding some more Rugers to the collection. 😁 I hope you and your family are doing well and have a great holiday season!

I can attest to the Terminal Ascent bullets effectiveness on game. I shot a whitetail buck with a 136 grain in a 270 Winchester. Devastating kill , dropped on the spot, didn't take a step.
@REDNECKROOTS7 ай бұрын
I use federal terminal accent 175grain in my 308 for whitetails. They just pancake whitetails. Full pennatration golf balls size exit wounds. I'm getting 3/4 groups at 125yards so it's dead nutz accurate. I will only use this as long as I can find it that's what will be in my rifle every season.

Bullets always expand at close range. The trick is to get one that won't blow up close and still expand way out

I had that problem with a 44 mag carbine I use to hunt with. Shot a doe in the shoulder and look like a grenade hit that one side. U can stick your fist in the hole but didnt penetrate died from so much blood loss ran couple hundred yards

I’m thinking about buying this exact rifle. How does it feed? I know prc’s can be finneky sometimes between the shoulder angle and COAL. Beautiful rifle btw! I don’t know why the Hawkeye isn’t more popular.
@muzzleblast886 ай бұрын
I wished they made more models of the Hawkeye myself it's one of my favorite platforms. And so far I've had no issues or jams. Got two deer with it so far. Love taking it hunting. And with gloves on and it was freezing both times after the shot on the deer fed perfectly. It's not the smoothest action but it works. The rifle is more accurate than I ever could be for sure I love it so much I stuck the Ruger Hawkeye compact 7mm-08 in layaway

@@muzzleblast88 that’s my thoughts exactly as well, they need to come out with a few new models of it to gain people’s interest. They’ve essentially done nothing with their lineup of Hawkeyes in the last 10-15 years other than offer slightly different stock colors/configurations. It’s a shame I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw one on the rack at a gun shop. I’m glad you like it, I have a few of them I just wasn’t sure how the prc fed in one, I’ll be getting one soon!
