I have a lightweight stainless steel Ruger 77 made around '92 with Mauser style action, not a push feed. Plastic skeletonized stock with scope at around 7 lbs. I reload so my reloads are touching at 100 yards. 150g Hornady plastic tipped bullets and 45g of 4064 powder. Killed several deer, don't remember how many, all with one shot kills. I never feel it kick when aiming at a deer. I sight it in with a laser boresighter and hardly ever shoot it. Haven't changed zero in 15-20 years.
