Ruger M77 MkII, 270, LH with Leupold 2-7. 12 years old. Bailed hay, washed heavy equipment on the weekends, and cut lawn to pay my dad back for it. Shot it a ton. Took a few deer with it. Was a decent shooter despite the trigger. Had a couple of issues with safety not locking the bolt down and with it not allowing the rifle to be shot even though the safety was in the off position. Sold it off after it sat idle for a few years. Don't really regret selling it.
When the BOSS came out, I picked up an A bolt 300 win so equipped and used that rig to do a ton of shooting and take a lot of game. Must've been around '96 or so because I had to have my dad sign for it when we picked it up as I wasn't 18. That rig was a shooter with about anything you'd stuff in it; but, of course, it was very loud, so I eventually moved on. Still regret selling that one; had a ton of great memories with it.
