I love the 338wm cartidge, but it's getting extremely hard to find factory loaded ammo. That said, I really like my Ruger Hawkeyes. The African 338 is sub moa. I picked up an Alaskan in 338 as well and it also shoots lights out. The Rugers are seriously under-rated imo.
I get the urge to build...
Ruger Hawkeye rifles are sorely lacking aftermarket stock options. Maybe there's just no market for it, but they're amazing rifles, imo.

The 90 doesn't look terrible. I'm guessing they no longer have any semblance of CRF, since they reference TRG and 3 lug. Interesting that they are offering 28 Nosler of all options.

There was an Instagram post recently that confirmed the 85 being discontinued and it's no longer on the web site.

Ruger Hawkeye African is 338WM. I've been very happy with this one all around. I always keep coming back to wood and blued steel.

I personally think the S100 looks like a beautiful rifle, but will never be able to swallow the price tag, nor do I need the switch barrel capability. I'd love to own one, but I don't think I'm their target demographic. I sure hope the 85 is hanging around.

Thanks, I may have to look into that. Finding 338 win mag has been a nightmare, and I'm not ready to dip into reloading yet.

If that's really the 2023 update, what a letdown. Sure seemed like it was going to be more than that. Why are places blowing out the "old" models if it's just a new stock pattern.

Has Sako ever said anything regarding some S20s having feed issues (not stripping rounds from the mag)? I was expecting some mechanical type updates, not just stock colors.

That's a great pic. Nice moose, indeed. An 85 Kodiak in 338 win mag has been on my list a long time, too. I think they discontinued that combo a while back, unfortunately.

Something biometric from Vauktek might fit the bill. I have a slider model next to the bed, which I like, but their other pod-type models would secure it from curious fingers and still be quickly accessible..

I think these days if I was looking to buy a suppressor for a hunting rifle, I'd look hard at an integral barrel. I've been eyeballing SWS barrels for a while, but the current wait times are off-putting. Never used a reflex can. Used a 338 can on a Ruger Alaskan one time. While the length was...
I asked Sako and Eurooptic both about the S20 closeouts. Sounds like the S20 is getting some kind of 2023 update, but Sako wouldn't provide any further info. Was hoping from something at SHOT, but haven't seen any news. The closeout prices are awfully tempting, but I wish I knew what I might...
