Geesh guys, as to the OP, your good to go. Don't think much about the Ruger, but would not want you to pick my wife either. Don't have trouble with variable scopes' but they are usually set on 6X when I am walking or sitting but don't feel handicapped with a straight 4 or 6 either. As far as caliber it could have been anything from a 7x57 to a 338 WM. The key is to be able to make a good shot with what you got Russ

I too would suggest the Leupold 2-7x but I am willing to take it a step further. I think this rifle would take any of non-dangerous and "dangerous" game animals in NA with ease given good bullets. Would it be my first choice to grizz? No, but given quality bullets you would be fine. A .270 WCF is a howitzer compared to a .30-.30 and how many grizzly have been taken by those? Tons. Hell I read just the other day of one in B&C book.
