[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1985119, member: 14169"] I have owned Ruger 77 for over thirty years. I originally purchased the rifle as a combination backup varmint rifle and an alternative to my 30-06 to hunt the small deer in southern California. I have since used it on mule deer in Nevada and whitetail in Kansas. You do your part and the bullet/rifle will absolutely take care of the rest. Like others have posted, my rifle will shoot under half inch all day long. The longest shot with this rifle was 410 yards and the deer fell in its tracks. My bullet of choice has always been a 117/120 grain Sierra. With dee and antelope I have not tried any other bullets. My barrel length is 24" inches and I consistently get between 3000 fps and 3100 fps with a healthy charge of IMR 4831. I really think this is one of the most underrated calibers not being used on deer, antelope and smaller game. Definitely one of my most favorite cartridges. [/QUOTE]
