Well I surprised myself the other day. Not only did I finally break down and 270 Win, but I got it in a Ruger of all things. Now as much as I love my Savages, I had a chance to shoot my hunting buddy' s Ruger 77 Mk II stainless, with a lamenated stock. I really enjoyed shooting it. I went to my local gunshop the other day to shoot the breeze and have a look around. I wasn' t really planning on buying anything, but as I was browsing through the rifles I found a very new looking Ruger stainless 270 Win. I looked it over and it was in great shape. Probably bought at the first of deer season and then traded in or sold at the end of season. I looked at the tag and the price looked like it was a mistake. It was very low for the used stainless model. Not being one to pass up a good deal I put it on layaway until I had a chance to go back with some cash. Went and picked it up the other day and I can hardly wait to put glass on it and take it to the range. Just hope my Savages don' t try to kick it out of the gun closet.
