[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1722292, member: 60453"] Take a look at the Ruger Guide gun, the Hawkeye Hunter, the Alaskan, the FTW Hunter, and the long range hunter. I own several Rugers, and they're quite accurate, durable and effective. The Ruger Hawkeye standard in 30-06 or .308 would probably do you out to around 400+ yards, for that matter. Mine is accurate enough to group 5 shot into about 5 inches at 600 yards with Sierra 180 bullets(30-06). All the ones listed above except the Ruger standard have threaded barrels and either laminated stocks or synthetic stocks. Some also have open sights, which I especially like, since I have broken scopes on hunts, and they'll all shoot under MOA. Several have 5R rifling. Prices vary from a suggested retail of $979.00 to 1279.00. If you like single shots, you can also find the Ruger No.1 in .308, 30-06, and several other calibers. They're more expensive, but I like them. Try to find one in the medium barreled sporter, though. Even with a 24 inch tube, it will be shorter than a bolt gun with a 22 inch barrel. You will have to look in the used market for a 24" barreled one in 30-06, though, and most people who own No.1's don't sell or trade them. [/QUOTE]
