Said it before and will again "fit/feel" are the most important thing when chossing your gun. If memory serves me correct you have a ruger and love it??? You bought an XCR and sold it??? Appears your a ruger man buy the hawkeye and enjoy. Looks mean squat ifthe riflefeels like sh!t and confidence lacks.

Have you tried the Savage Classic yet? I saw in a new catalogue they offer it in LH. Wood, blue, accutrigger...might be worth a touchy/feely?? I'm not a savage guy but if I were buying I'd touch one to know I have excerised all my options.



Skeeter,
Thanks for the reply. Your replies to my posts always made me say "Dang...that makes sense!"

The Ruger Hawkeye DOES feel better when I shoulder it......and I guess no matter how much I want the CDL to also it'sjust not gonna if the fit isn't there.

I just really wanted to go with a Rem 700 action on this next rifle. Nothing at all against Rugers. Theyre built like a tank.

I wish I had the same level of confidence in "out of the box" accuracy with Ruger as I do Remington though..........
