I finally got my deer rifle
I really apprecaited all of the advice from you guys, It was a tough decision but im glad i went with the one that i made, I was lingering between the Savage and the Ruger. But after looking at both models and comparing prices i ended up going with the Ruger. The really wasnt a big price difference between them but i just fell in love when i looked at that Ruger. I do see a Savage in my future some where. Thanks guys,
Here is a picture of my new deer rifle. Its the Ruger M77- Mark II Standard, I got it chambered in the .270 WSM, so i should have plenty of gun for any deer that ever crosses my path,

Take it to a good smith and have him lighten and smooth the trigger or buy an aftermarket replacement from Timney. This is about the only bad thing I have to say about a Ruger. If the rifle doesn't group well have the smith free float the barrel and bed the action. I do this on all of my rifles. My Step-Dad has a Ruger 77 the old model and it shoots awesome without the barrel floated. The old models with tang safeties had adjustable triggers.

RE: I finally got my deer rifle
I actually thought about the .20 winchester. I have shot my fathers and really liked it but i just wanted something different then what he had. So i decided on the .270 WSM. DO you think this is a good round and should it be able to shot accurately from my Ruger.
