Welcoming thoughts, comments and pros/cons...been handling two single shot rifles lately and just cannot decide which to buy (both is not an option).
In one corner, a new Ruger #1 in .308
Versus an excellent condition Browning B78 in 30-06 from early 1970s. Comes with old Leopold scope.
Both are about the same price.
Purpose: primarily a range target gun. Shooting from various positions but very limited bench shooting. Range distance is 150 to 250 yards. Possibly NY deer hunting next season.
Main hesitation on Browning is weight. Any thoughts or opinions are welcome.
