Last fall, just before elk season, I took my Ruger MKII "boat paddle" .300WM and MKII .30-06 �boat paddle� to the range for a final check before the elk hunt. During that session I used took 5 shots at clay pigeons at 600 yards, 3 shots with one rifle and 2 with the other. Misses were not by enough to matter with either rifle and each scored a hit.


Here is a target shot with the .300WM, first shot from a clean bore. As you can see, accuracy sux.

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.
