[QUOTE="bullfrog, post: 505120, member: 26027"] The Ruger M77 Hawkeye and Remington 700 SPS stainless both come from the factory with a 24" barrel and under 8lbs. I would pick whichever one of these fits you best and go with it. I have sold both in my shop and they have all shot well (1 MOA or better) with at least one factory load (it may not be the load you want to use). The remington has a LOT more aftermarket parts available if you want to customize later but the Ruger has the controlled round feed many people want and there is more aftermarket support for it than many people think. I don't think you will go wrong with either of these. By the way the 100gr Nosler ballistic tip Federal load seems to have the best balance of terminal and long range performance for the one load deer/coyote gun. [/QUOTE]
