Title: Ruger M77 Hawkeye--- need new recoil pad
Post by: uplandhunter870 on October 25, 2010, 03:19:30 PM: so the factory recoil pad is peeling off of my hawkeye, its not affecting the functionality of the rifle but its annoying and looks like crap. i did a search on several gun parts sites, midway cabelas etc. and only found pads that i found were said to fit the old tang safety m77's will those pads fit the new m77 hawkeye?

thanks in advance
steve
