ok, after much considering and much advice I've decided to get a bolt-action .308 and scope it, as a general purpose hunting rifle.
Looking around found me two choices, both of which I like the looks of.
Ruger M77 MkII Sporter - cool stock, stainless parts for weather resistance. Have been very impressed with my other Ruger weapons.
20" barrel, total weight under 7 pounds.
Remington Model Seven - slightly shorter and lighter. Brother owns one in .223 that is way older than he is, and it looks and shoots brand new.
Either way, I'll be getting it in .308 Win (maybe the best all-around caliber) so it will suffice for all lower 48 hunting types and share ammo with a future FAL or M1A.
Can anybody share their experiences with either of these guns?
Also, what is a fair price for one, new & used?
Thanks!
