Have yet to see a Ruger in the woods...

Ruger 10/22’s, Mini 14’s and 357 & 44 Blackhawks are staples in most villages and the M77 in .338 was THE guide rifle until the 375 Ruger was introduced !

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
