I'm thinking I'll spend 6-7-800 on the rifle alone. I've handled and shot win 70's. There nice. I own that savage 212 and it fits well and I like the trigger but I'm not overly impressed with the action, but it is a 12guage shotgun. I've only handled a few of the rugers and I like the fit and feel. The local gun shop spent some time with me yesterday and they quoted $615 on a new m77 stainless synthetic.
I need to test drive all these rifles at a range. Anyone know where they will let ya shoot before you buy? Lol. Thanks for your input.
