i have been trying to decide for some time now on what rifle to start out with i allready own a ruger 77 mk 2 .300 win mag it seems to shoot fine but i dont know if it will work for long range hunting out to say 800 yd or more? is this rifle worth building on or should i save the money and get something else to start with? larger caliber? .338 RUM is allso something i like but once again i allready own the .300. thanks for the input guys.
