As you can see in the photo, my Ruger MKII is not stock. In act, it came to me in pieces, barrel from Bear Paw Jack, stock from gunpartscorp.com, naked action from a gun show, Sims LimbSaver recoil pad. Although fairly lightweight, the 22" barrel reduces velocity a bit and the recoil pad helps a lot. Still, I don't target shoot with it except for pre-season practice. Hunting load is a 225g AB @ 2742fps.

L-to-R, .338WM, .300WM, .30-06

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
