Ruger Hawkeye M77 All Weather page 2

Roger,
I have a Hogue Over mold aluminum Pilar bed that I can run
On any Ruger Hawkeye LA, and tryed it on three different guns. Without exception all three guns shot better in the Hogue.........my old 270 went from 1.4"/100 down to an inch, put it back in the factory stock right back to about 1.5", I never did figure out why except to was not the front
End of the stock it was apparently back in the receiver area and most likely could have been fixed by bedding the lug or whole action........ The Hogue feels better to me, has
A much nicer pistol grip, better recoil pad, and shoots better. There is no doubt factory plastic stocks are generally about as cheap as they can possibly make them, but are still perfectly adequate for general hunting....however they usually could use some work to get the best results........

Thanks Earle for the info I may invest in one. Yours is just the pillar bed and not the full action block?

No doubt the Hogue is stiffer and has better bedding but I don't care for them. The wrist goes almost vertical, is thick and has a big flare on the bottom. Just doesn't fit my hand or shooting style well. The material is very "grippy" also, too much so for me. I can't "slide" into position and get locked in, more like letting go and regripping to get in position if that makes any sense. In a cold coastal Alaska rainstorm it's probably good material...
