Default RE: Ruger M77/MKII

I have a Ruger 77 MKII in 270 Win. The fit and finish of the rifle is good. Overall the rifle is very well made. I must admit that I was not pleased with it after the first trip to the range, but after floating the barrel, bedding the action and a trigger job the rifle shoots great. Most Rugers have heavy triggers and will stand a good trigger job. As far as the 30-06 Sprng, it will fit the bill for what you want to hunt but so will the 308 Win. They are ballistically similar with a slight edge going to the 30-06 when using heavier bullets.
