I have a Ruger M77 MKII SS in 30-06 and love it. Put a Hogue OM stock, Nikon Monarch 3-9x40 and Harris bi-pod on. Total package is a little heavy, but steady and accurate. I'm sold on Ruger quality. Good luck with whatever you chose.
+1 on the Ruger M77 MkII SS, same caliber also. Mine has the pre-2001 stock (recessed) Weaver 3x9-40. Wouldn't happen to know where I might find another one of those stocks do you? Getting kind rough finding one.
