There is something very satisfying about ejecting the fired case from my M77 Mk ll and having it fly six feet away instead of just dribbling out of the action like it does from my M700 push feed. I sure like that M77 three position wing safety too. Also the integral scope bases on the Ruger. Guess you know what I'd go with.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
