you think the ruger rounds will last, Mike?
Long enough, I have a goodly supply of brass. I like that the Ruger series is an efficient design. They fit well in s standard length action whilst leaving plenty of meat to ensure sufficient strength.
In 700's and model 70's where the 416 Remington is pretty well established, I don't know if the Ruger will gain much traction but in M77's and Mausers I can see it being a better fit, especially in the later.
While I really like the zg47 they are rare as hen's teeth south of the border. The integral mounts are a plus to be sure, and one I personally like. However, lever mounts can be used on any mauser with the proper scope bases.
