I have one of those as well. It was my little brother's gun and occasionally I take it out for a hunt. I shot a nice antelope with it several years ago.

I bought a used left-handed M77 in .270 for my grandson. Has a muzzle brake and a better recoil pad replacing the Ruger Red Brick pad. The gun is a sub minute of angle performer. Great gun for short money

I like Ruger's simply because I can afford them and the ones I have can shoot. My first was a M77 RSI 30-06. I took a 4x scope off a .22 and my first three shots were with factory WW 220 grain silver tips and printed a half inch group at 100 yards. My Ruger 10/22 and M77/22 can shoot as well. I had a Remington 700 in .375 H&H and it was phenomenal. So was an Interarms Whitworth .458 Win Mag. I have two Lipsey Rugers. One a M77 RSI in 6.5x55 and the other a .275 Rigby. There are a few odds and ends I enjoy as well. I have more fun with the .22's just walking the fields and plinking.

My favorite is a 1908 Winchester Model 94, 26" Barrel half round half Octagon with a Marble tang sight. Bought it sight unseen just before Deer Season years ago for $125.00. Bought it from a guy from work out of the trunk of his car after work. He was originally from the UP and told me his dad would hand him the rifle and one cartridge and tell him not to come home unless he had a deer. This was a well used rifle that still gives me good vibes every time I handle it.

I favor the Win Model 70 and have four of them. One is a newer one (300 WSM) and the other three are Pre-'64 versions. The featherweight in 30.06 is a favorite for whitetails but I've been using a sporterized Win Model 1917 in 30.06 for the past few years.

Phil the 250 Savage is a great deer round. I had a M70 in that cambering but sold it for big money and bought a Remington 700 classic in 250 Savage. It's a tack driver with 100gr NBT but just haven't gotten it in the deer blind yet
