| Restock of my M77 Hawkeye .280
I've always liked walnut and stainless so I finally contacted Ruger to buy a walnut stock for my stainless Hawkeye. Needless to say, I think they sent me a very nice stock and the stainless and wood goes very well together.

That is a very nicely figured piece of wood.

Sweet,
What's the finish on the stainless steel? Is it standard on the Hawkeye?

The stainless on my 77 MK II .243 is a polished SS and is way shiny.
Very nice though.

I like the looks of that a LOT better. Then again, I am a huge fan of wood and laminate for stocks.  | |

Nice loocking rifle ! I also like the SS / wood look, got a 10/22 setup like that.

Excellent move. That's a great looking Hawkeye! I have a blued Hawkeye in .257 Roberts. They're darn nice guns! The farthest I've wandered from walnut is to a few rifles with laminated stocks. Two of them are Model 77 MKII target rifles - one in 6mm PPC and another in .22-250 Remington.
I know they have some good features, but I'll never take to synthetic stocks.

How much did that cost you? I'm thinking about buying a replacement stock for my M77 and haven't really found many good options for under $300.
