Matt-- I own 6 of Bill "nobody needs more than 10 rounds" Ruger's 77 bolt guns. They were purchased before I found out about his role in the hi-cap mag restriction. Anyway, I love all of mine. I do not shoot super long range (you can't where I live), but I have taken deer at 300+ yards.(.270) That more than fills my bill.
One thing I've noticed is some of the rifles just seem to shoot better than others--within the same model, etc. I know the "super sniper tactical terry's" don't care for them like the beloved Rem. 700, but that's my .02.
A side note about the 700 vs the 77. I had one 700 and there is little comparison in things like fit and finish. The 77 out of the box just seems more like a fine, no-nonsense, well-made rifle for the money. I thought the 700 was kinda cheap and junky looking. But then again I understand most the long range shooters junk everything but the action and start over so that may not matter. YMMV
BTW, I don't what the Rem.'s are going for now but a standard or light Ruger 77 can be had for $405 NIB here in Ark.
Good luck looking for a bolt gun.
