This is NO knock against Rugers. This is my 46 'consecutive' hunting season. I've had too many brands & models of rifles to list. I've never had
any rifle of any brand fail me - in or out of season. Pick the rifle you like the looks and feel, Ruger or other.
Second, the 308 W is ALMOST an 06. Pick the cartridge you want ! !
I've NEVER been satisfied whenever I 'settled'. You may be different.
Good Luck
Jerry
