Well, you're all going to think I'm crazy, or perhaps not since we all suffer from the same terminal disease.
I went into the local gun dealer's shop the other day and started looking at rifles. I also had a few extra $$ from teaching a summer class, even after giving the wife her split.
There I was, handling a Ruger M77 Mk in .308, and I just loved the way it looked, felt, etc. As a shotgunner I always notice stock fit and this rifle just mounted effortlessly. So I bought it! Price was $520.
I clearly don't need a .308, having just bought a 7mm-08 Remington Mountain Rifle. But now I own one anyway. Took it down to the range and sighted it in with the Sightron Sii borrowed from the 7mm-08. Accuracy was quite good, at least for my shooting ability--about 1" or a bit more out of the box at 100 yards. The trigger was heavy but not creepy. Right now the rifle's at the factory having the trigger adjusted--which is a way to do it without invalidating the warranty.
Ah, the things we do for love. . . :lol: :lol:
