NEWB here to rifles and this forum but not forums so please dont beat me down with the search function or turn this into a pissn match...
I have never owned a rifle or killed anything over 100 yards (bowhunter here) but I am in the market for a new rifle to try my hand at longer ranges.I primarliy hunt Whitetails and bear but do plan heading west for elk. I am looking at .308 and originally was looking at the Remington 700 and Browning A or X bolt. Then I came across the Ruger M77. I am really liking the M77. I came across this site and figured I'd get Firing Line's opinion. Pros, Cons on the M77?, other suggestions in the $700ish range??
Thanks
if this is in the wrong sub-forum please move
