Stupid on my part to not buy it, even though I had 4 30-06's in the stable already. I have 1 SS MKII 300 win mag boat paddle tucked away for future use. These rifles keep going up in value. The rubber goodyear butt pad sucks and needs to be replaced with a limbsaver or similar recoil pad, especially on the heavy kickers.



I did the same thing - found a stainless .270 Win for $325 at a gun show, didn't buy because they wouldn't come down to $310. Dumb. Went back the next morning to buy it and someone else was filling out the paperwork. Still kicking myself when I think about it.

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.
