Sunday up here in beautiful Alaska is the day that Fred Meyers (A grocery store owned by Kroger) sends out their gun-ads for the week. Lately they've been doing 770 kits; a different caliber each week. This week is .300wm which is what I've been waiting for.
Here's the situation: My best bud up here is a financial idiot. He has sufficient debt to be a problem, and has a dead-beat ex who sticks him with large child support payments monthly. In short, he can't afford to get his own hunting rifle.
OTOH, I have sufficient discretionary funds to do so, and am considering helping him out. The issue is twofold. One, he's a total newbie. Two, I am not made out of money, so nothing more expensive than $300, out of the box ready to go.
Is there any reason NOT to go with a 770 in .300 winmag?
