Since this video was made we have done a ton of research and work on the rifle which has mostly been documented on the series. The video you commented on is part 1 and we have put out up to part 5 as well as an additional bonus video so far. Long story short the rifle was made to shoot very well but if you are interested in seeing what all we did before we got to that point I'll post a link to the playlist here: Ruger Hawkeye Guide Gun: ua-cam.com/play/PLPtUC6Hk3Uz2IsteVKYNc7RKO1tRuTlxS.html Thanks for watching 👍

Kelly bro, I think this thing is good for what it's good for and not much else! Lol! Happy Thanksgiving!

While the torque on the screws is somewhat important on the M77 platform, this rifle had more wrong with it than just that. This video was part 3 in a five-part series that we produced on fixing what was wrong with this fine rifle. We now have it shooting consistently under 1 inch with a variety of ammunition. Thanks for watching 👍

Yes it is. It's a similar concept to Savage's Accutrigger. I purposefully left this one alone because it's a youth hunters rifle. Thanks for watching 👍

I think you'll like it. I've had this one a very long time and it continues to work well.

So I've got both the PSA Dagger and the Grizzly. I'm going to do a side by side comparison soon. Thanks for watching B!

Thanks for sharing 👍

We continue to have good luck with our BCA uppers. If your interested, we just did a review of the all new BCA 102 Grizzly. Here's the link to the video:ua-cam.com/video/twnoEht0Om4/v-deo.html

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 👍 I love the .375 and have 3 of them. I actually did a little "show and tell" bit on them awhile ago. Here's the link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/us-bVVLUx0E/v-deo.html

Now that the initial disappointment of having to fix it to get it right is behind me, I'm at piece with the purchase and the work that was necessary. If I were to do it over again I would probably buy one with the synthetic stock rather than the Green Mountain laminate stock. I see many of these (M77's in general) for sale on GunBroker that go in the $600 to $800 range. Although right now is not a good time to try to buy a hunting rifle on GunBroker as with hunting season in full swing rifles are commanding a premium at the moment. You would be better off to wait until after Christmas when everybody spent their spending money.

Thanks for sharing.

Hmmmm, my Ruger Gen 2 in 7mm-08 shoots sub moa groups with factory ammo. 'Nuff said!

You'll never convince them once their mind is made up. My next rifle will be a Gen 2 Predator in 7mm-08. Thanks for watching 👍

I agree 👍 Thanks for watching.

All of the Gowutar optics I've messed with have held up well. Happy Thanksgiving back at you, God bless you and yours!

Very cool optic option…haven’t heard of that Maker before so Thanks for sharing your experiences with it…Hope you have a good Turkey Day !!

Thanks for watching Keith 👍 Look forward to letting you shoot it!

You'll be happy with your decision! Thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for watching!

You got it brother 💪

So I gave the one that had the focus issue to a friend of mine and he has been doing his best to rid East Texas of its surplus feral hog population with it ever since.

Mine is great but soon to get a makeover. Stay tuned!

I'm glad to hear it, and thanks for sharing! We have done a lot with this rifle since this video came out. It now shoots exceptionally well, and I've worked up a reasonably accurate handload for the same reason. I'm currently getting .75MOA from 165gr Hornady SST loaded over 55gr 4350. There are a couple of factory loads that group better than that, and I'll continue playing around with a pet load as well. Thanks for watching 👍

Anytime!

Thanks for watching brother!

The reason we are able to create free internet content for the public to view is because of partnering with companies like XS Sights. I'm sorry if that causes you some level of inconvenience.

Are you sure that's the position you wish to take?

Thanks for sharing brother 👍

Thanks Bro!

I'm looking to get another after I get my taxes done this next spring.

Thanks for sharing brother 👍

Once again I must apologize to a triggered member of the consuming>contributing online community that our free internet content is not up to your standards. Posting the not-so-great along with the pretty good is part of what makes a realistic video. If we omitted all of the failed attempts that happened along the way and only posted the bright and shiny results of the occasional stroke of fortune then the videos just wouldn't be very believable. If you watched the video to the end before you stopped to throw stones then no doubt you would have seen the quarter inch group we shot with the Remington Core-lokt Tipped ammo. That was around the 8:30 mark. Also if you were to have seen the original review video on this rifle you would have seen that most of the groups that we shot which included a wide variety of factory loadings were in the sub minute of angle range. I did jump over to your UA-cam account to see the videos that you have made showing how to do it correctly and I was unable to find them? So if you could help me out by answering these simple questions. Do you make videos, or do you just criticized videos that other people make? Thanks for sharing buddy 👍

@ when someone is interested in buying a rifle or anything in general. They such as myself depend on these so called shooters that feel they are proficient enough with firearms to be comfortable to make product reviews. So the public naturally assumes that shooter knows what they are doing. After watching several videos on these Gen 2’s. I nearly backed out on a rifle that I already had ordered. Seeing all these 1.35 to 2” groups from other videos. Had me concerned. But since it was already paid for I went ahead and picked it up. Brought it home and threw a decent scope on it. Sighted it in. First group I shot off a plastic ret from Walmart was a 5/8 group. On shots 8-9-10. Needless to say. This rifle out performs the UA-cam “professionals” that put so much time into making a review that makes the product look far more inferior than it actually is.

@michaeldoby1144 let me know when you get your video made so I can see how it is supposed to be done.

@ no problem.

I agree with your assessment. I watch most of Mason Leather's stuff as he's probably the best on the internet right now of doing what it is that he does and I observed the same findings that you're addressing. Thanks for watching 👍

I've had them all, and the only one I've kept is the Gen 3. I'm gonna to hold onto it because I think they got it right this time. Thanks for watching 👍

If you blinked at the right moment you could have.

I recommend you get small base dies (RCBS X dies) for semi auto rifle use. www.rcbs.com/dies-%26-shell-holders/rifle-dies/x-die-small-base-sizer-die/1000032.html?srsltid=AfmBOooNAmWRKQj3b1uqeZfJdrXjfzzvf7w8DQJ_XkPhqRw5ZWxQhog4

Yep

Thanks!

Hey thanks for watching 👍 We did a lot with that rifle this year and after "fixing it" had it running really good. That said, for the money our Ruger American Gen 2 in .243 is a way better rifle. If I had it to do over again I'd buy another Gen 2.

Thanks for watching.

Paul was the best!

Do me a favor and send me another email to oldweaseldiesel@gmail.com so I can get ahold of you.

The Stevens has potential to be a great rifle but requires work to get it there. Probably the biggest issue with the American Gen 2 is the magazine being extremely difficult to insert on a closed bolt. That makes "topping off" with that 4th round a pain in the neck! I'm not the only one to complain about that. Otherwise it has been really good. The Cascade is indeed rumored to be pretty good. I have no experience with that one. It's essentially a Bergara B14. My Stevens 334 is gone now as an example of that sell something to get something you were talking about... Thanks for watching 👍

Good to hear. Double check your safety to make sure it still engages as you're essentially pure loading the first stage of a 2 stage trigger (the creep you mentioned is that first stage). Thanks for sharing 👍
