[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1547074, member: 60453"] The Ruger Hawkeye is a great rifle, and it is very accurate. It will weigh in at about 7.5 lbs in a 22" tube, and a few ounces more in a 24". I have one in 6mm Rem. and one in 30-06. They make an FTW Hunter model in the Hawkeye in 300 winmag with a 24 inch barrel and a Ruger removable muzzle break. Runs around a thousand dollars. They used to make it in 30-06. Weight is 8.2 lbs. I'm 67 years old and have no problem carrying a Ruger M77 MKII with scope (about 9.5 lbs) all day up and down mountains. And the extra weight over some of these ultra uber light rifles makes it easy to shoot accurately because it soaks up some of the recoil. I shoot 600 yards and farther with the -06. Its really all you need for elk. Just stay with the 180 grain bullets. [/QUOTE]
