[QUOTE="flatwater bill, post: 1442005, member: 81090"] jski....................I bought the very same rifle you are looking at the year it came out. Ruger 77 tang safety full stock. I put a 1.5X5 Leupold VX-3 dot scope, and it has been my choice for many lope and deer hunts. This short bbl will not produce the stunning velocities other members are getting with their longer barrels, but it is wonderful gun/cartridge when used within its limits. One of my favorite, but late, gun writers wrote of the 250 "it has probably wounded more (big game) than it has killed". This was definitely not my experience. I killed large muleys, whitetails and antelope with one reasonably placed shot....Sierra Pro Hunter 100 grain and 4320 powder. Snap up this gun!.....FWB [/QUOTE]
