M77 Hawkeye

[RugerFan]

Has anyone noticed that Ruger's new M77 Hawkeye comes chambered in .338 Fed and .358 Win? ...uh...I feel my hand uncontrollably reaching for my Mastercard. I was going to buy a Rem 700 in .308 and have it rebarreled for .358 Win, but now I can get it ready to go out of the box. Life is good!

Looks like a heck of a good deal. Good twist, good barrel length. If I was in the market for another .358 Win., I would sure give this a hard look. The .358 is very hard to beat, for a cast bullet hunting chambering.
