I was at Bass Pro this weekend looking at all of the rifles. I really liked the Ruger Mark II Sporter. It has a synthetic barrel and a wood stock. I like the three position safety like a Winchester and the machining is real nice.

Are there any issues that I should be aware of? Trigger? Is it a shooter?

I noticed that the barrel and the stock ride very tight. Is this something to be considered? Am I going to have to have the barrel floated?

Any info would be appreciated because this is the last rifle that I will be buying for a while and I don't want to make a mistake.

I would like to get it in a 300wsm.

I looked at the Tikka T3 and I didn't like it. I also looked at the savage and I liked the price but I didn't like the finish. I liked the Winchester but I already have one and would like to give someone else a shot.

Opinions would be great.

Thanks
Tom
