[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1981385, member: 30671"] [ATTACH]214495[/ATTACH][ATTACH]214496[/ATTACH] Ruger Hawkeye Compact Rifle, 2-7x Leupold, Oregunsmithing Stock. We've had other of these rifles, in other cartridges, and I've been very happy with them. Ammo at this time was CorBon 150 grain soft point, 2300 fps. No real test of ammo most stuff dies when brained at 40 yards. Of the factory ammo I like this best, unfortunately It's not available anymore. Fortunately I bought enough of it I have mine. I keep getting sidetracked for loading for it. I don't shoot it much, as I leave it to the kids. So group size seems good enough, but not enough bench time to explore potential. Kind of between kids, grandson is a little ways out. I've got Hammer 130's for it just have to do it. I think I can get 2500 fps, just have to prove it. Pretty scaled down, the 2-7X Leupold works, but at some point a reflex sight or 1-4X will go on it. I think it shows the scale pretty good, and gives a good idea of package size. Also had a rail installed, drilled and tapped. [/QUOTE]
