For long distance shooting I'm not a big fan of heavy hunting rifles that weigh well over 10 lbs.
I prefer medium weight rifles for long distance shooting as I am generally packing them.

I own two Ruger FTW rifles in 6.5 CM and 7mm RM, both rifles will shoot 5's and 6's everyday and less depending on the wind and my squeeze.

I paid $800.00 for each of my rifles and thought it was an OK deal.

Now I am seeing the FTW in 7 RM and 30-06 for $499.00.
I think that is a pretty great deal for what you are getting.
A rifle that will shoot like a custom for $499.00.

To those who are interested, I found this on GB.

So tempted to get an 06 now.
