Out of the box Ruger M77 chambered in .308 Winchester
Leupold 4X scope
Uncle Mike's Mountain Sling
Factory Federal 165 grain Barnes Triple-Shock X

Can anyone think of anything more effective and reliable, for less money out the door?


Rem. 700 ADL 308 (or 243)
Leupold 4X
Corelokt 150g (or 100g if 243) in the Green and Yellow box

Sycamore
