Interesting Ruger Hawkeye Hunter in 358 Winchester

[Blackie]

That's a great setup! That will knock the snot out of the biggest buck in the woods! Also.. make a rug out of a black bear!

Here is my 358 Winchester.. it's a Ruger American Predator!

I loaded up 200 grain Hornady Interlock and got a .262 inch group at 100 yards!

Ruger® Hawkeye® Hunter Bolt-Action Rifle Model 67107

ruger.com

16.6" threaded barrel
Stainless barrel, action, and floorplate
Walnut stock
Mauser-type controlled round feed
6.7 Lbs
4 round mag and 3 position safety.

I can't say I would change much about this rifle. Very tempted, especially because I have a Rex Silentium 358 can already...

Trying to decide between the 308 Winchester (I would buy factory ammo) or 358 Winchester (I would reload everything)....
Looking at the numbers, 358 Winchester seems to be a hammer up close and match 308 at distance.

Hornady lists loads for a 358 Win with the 200gr bullet going 2700 FPS (same speed as the 308 pushes a 165gr).

I would love one like that with 18"-20" barrel and the ruger iron sights. Like the M77RS here.
