My family has two, both Ruger M77 MKIIs. Neither are as nice as the rifles pictured but they have fast become a favorite rifle for both my son and myself. We don't have a wide variety of game here in Maine but he has killed a couple of white-tails and a black bear with plain jane 140 gr. Core-lokts. I think you'd have a hard time convincing him that it isn't a great rifle.
