I just so happen to have one for sale that i have not listed in the classifieds yet.
Here are some pics.
Its clean, comes w/ a leather sling, and 140 rounds of ammunition. the ammo is worth over a hundred and the gun comes w/ an extra mag.
650 takes it. Scope not included.
As you can see its not 100 percent, but its a hunting rifle none the less.
I have shot a 5 inch group at 500 yards w/ remington corlokt ammo, Vette was a witness to it.
Ruger M77's are nice IMHO but for your price I would look at the Savage line. They have some very good priced package guns with Nikon BDC retical scopes for around 500 or less. Surf Budsgunshop and you can find quite a few. Also Marlin and Mossberg make decent bolt guns but they both are under rated. I have a friend in Montana that has a Tikka and he swears by it as well.
Any of them would be fine for deer.
Good luck
IndyGunworks thanks, I am really looking for one with a synthetic stock.
gunman41mag,I don't know. I really just have my heart set on a .270. Looking at the ballistics they seem very similar at the ranges I am looking at.
I'll have take a look/touch at savage and see how I like them. Thanks for the suggestions.
