Thats the trouble, it's an order item way over here in New Zealand so at the moment so I'm trying to gather all info I can from you guys
The Savage equiv is here but... I do like the look of the Ruger
Cheers
Good Luck. Let me know if I can answer any more questions for ya.
For what it's worth, I owned a Savage Predator .204, and a Cooper Phoenix .204.......if I was to get a new factory .204 the Ruger Hawkeye Predator would be at the top of the list. It's a great looking rifle (and at least my buddy's shot really well) and a very good weight for calling critters.
If it was me, I would pass on the Ruger. It limits you in aftermarket parts - especially scope rings. If you've got Savages in your neighborhood, that would be a better option.

I have one that I bought a few months ago. I put a Leupold Vari-x3 on it in 4.5-14x50LR. I did not get to shoot it for a month or so because I needed the larger 30mm scope rings and Ruger was out of stock. They will give them to you for free if the rifle is new and you need them. I have been shooting factory Hornady v-max in 50gr. I am not a bench rest shooter. I actually need a lot of practice still. For me the rifle shoots really well. I can keep it within 1.5inches at 200yrds. I love the trigger on it. I want one for my M77 7MMRem. I have not done anything to it. I am going to start to reload for it later this week.
