In the latest CDNN flier there's a $399 Ruger M77 Hawkeye stainless rifle they list as being in caliber 338 Federal Magnum. I've heard of 338 Federal (308 case based) but never a 338 federal magnum. I'm guessing either it's a typo and it's really 338 federal or the 338 Winchester Magnum, either of which I'd find worth owning (maybe the Federal alittle more).
Anyone shoot a 338 Federal? How do you like it? How about a M77 Hawkeye? For the money it seems like a good deal, I've not handled "hawkeye" but the M77's I've shot seemed to do very well. Are there any issues with the Hawkeye's I should know about as well? A 338 308 based case seems to be a interesting cartridge and I'm thinking of calling in the morning.
