I have a friend who has a Ruger 77 MKII stainless/synthetic that he is wanting to get rid of at a decent price. Includes the scope, sling and a box of 200 grain Winchester ammo. He says it's just too much gun for him.
I know I don't need it, so we'll get that out of the way. I have wanted a 338 for probably 15 to 20 years, though (I'm 46). I shoot centerfires from 223 to 300 Win Mag quite regularly. I know nothing really about the 338, but do relaod all my ammo, and will reload this.
Thoughts from people who own them. Go for it, or get something that is more pleasant to shoot. Here is what I shoot presently in centerfire rifle: 223, 243, 25/06, 308 and 300 Win Mag. This would probably be a safe queen 99% of the time, because I don't need that kind of power for North Arkansas whitetails.
Thanks for any thoughts.
