Just wondering if someone could tell me where I could find the specs on a Ruger Hawkeye in Blue, Walnut, 6.5 X 55? I was looking for gun weight, rate of twist, and OA length. Or if someone knows off hand, they could post here? Thanks
I do not recall Ruger making the Hawkeye in 6.5x55(Swedish). Back in the late 80's/early 90's Ruger did offer the M77 in 6.5x55. However, Hawkeye is offered in 6.5 Creedmoor; which differs dimensionally from the Swede cartridge. Ballistically they are similar. The Ruger web site will give the specs on the 6.5 Creedmoor rifle here:
Ruger® M77® Hawkeye® All-Weather® Bolt-Action Rifle Models
The 6.5 Creedmoor and the 260 Remington(6.5mm) are both based on the 308 case. Say "short action". They differ in the shoulder dimension and OAL. The 260 will have a slightly larger case capacity and will be closer to the 6.5x55(long action) ballistically. The 6.5 Creedmoor however is so close; most will never notice the difference between the three. As always YMMV
