RE: New Gun!!
I looked and handled one of the new Ruger's. It felt like a good one. IMO you made a great choice on your new rifle. The cartridge you have should also do you well. The advice Ridge Runner gave you is very sound. IMO the power of the scope is a bit high for a big game rifle, but the price is good. While you are on that site take a look at the Zeiss Conquest scopes they have for sale there. A 3X9 is more than adequate, and I normally always have my power selector on the low end, not the high end. Tom.
