[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1669040, member: 14169"] I will add my two cents worth. First I want to address someone that said Rugers were hard to re-barrel. I had a Ruger tanger in 22-250 with standard twist. Wanted a faster twist to shoot heavier, longer bullets. Had a GREAT gunsmith (retired now, much to my loss) put a Broughton heavy varmint 1:8 twist on that Ruger. Shoots itty, bitty little groups. No problem. I am partial to Winchester Model 70 but can't always afford them. Ruger is a good gun for the money. If you are mostly a whitetail hunter at 300-500 yards, I would seriously consider a 25-06. Plenty of giddyup for whitetail. Great accuracy and easy to reload. More importantly, IMHO, you can find factory ammo without any problem. [/QUOTE]
