Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters A 308 Carbine

This Ruger 77 MKII RLS 308 is my "if you could only keep one" rifle. It's a factory 18.5" barrel. I'm no great hunter but I've killed moose and deer with it as well as the occasional partridge and snowshoe hare. No critter that I've pointed it at has complained about a lack of velocity. I set it up with a Leupold shorty VXIII 1.75-6X and it will hold pretty close to an inch from a bench at 100 with good factory loads or its preferred hand load.
