And btw, the perfect big game rifle needs to have iron sights and quick detachable rings.


Because on some rifles, like M700 Rems, the rear sight gets in the way of the scope. First thing I did when I purchased a used M700 was to contact Remington and purchase a replacement rear sight. Next thing I did was mount it. Third thing I did was take it back off so I could remount the scope.

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.
