Im mainly looking for a less recoil/ Long Range (out to 500 yards) Whitetail rifle & shoot for groups off the bench. Im also tired of my "barrel burners". I really like the ruger stock but they only offer it in the Creedmoor. I was kinda leaning towards the swede but am having a hard time finding one in a ruger. I should also add Im looking for a synthetic stock. At those hunting distances I dont think the performance from either or will matter much. I should also add Im planning to use 140gr bullets , reloading my own ammo. Lastly , I would love to mount my Schmidt Bender 5-25x56 on this rifle or do you think thats overkill?

Treestands don't demand. Treestands don't complain.
Treestands simply ask me to sit down and listen.
