My all-time favorite was a tang safety Ruger 77 in .270 Winchester, but I shot the barrel out on it and stupidly didn't rebarrel, but I replaced it with a M70 .270. I much favored the old Ruger, but I can't fault how this Winchester shoots. The Ruger just fit me better. I loved the tang safety, it's handier to me, than the 3 position Winchester safety.

No matter anyway, the deer don't care what I shoot them with.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
