Received the 243 model Hawkeye and mounted a Leupold. VX-ll 3-9 scope.
Trigger was a bit stiff but okay for a hunting rifle. No creep at all. I was pleasantly surprised as I've heard mixed reviews on this new trigger from Ruger.
I suppose controlled feed is a plus but with or without has never been an issue for me. Not much dangerous game around here.
Put 4 of six test groups at an 1" or under, the best being 1/2" with Nosler 95 grain Ballistic Tips. (See Reloading forum)
I bought this rifle because I was very happy with the 280 I bought a couple years ago and I think this one is a winner as well.
