Ruger Precison Rifle - 300 Win Mag Advice.

#1 Post by Cornish-Viking »

Hi all,

Following on from my Bergara advice, after getting hands on with the Pro one it turns out there is no stock in the UK this year.

So.....Does anyone have any dealing or own a Ruger Precison Rifle in 300 Win Mag.

I have a Tikka Tac in 6.5 so its kind of a good choice to keep things similar.

thankssign

Variety is the spice of life! There's currently 80 300 Win Mags on GT, from 450 to over 14 grand! Surely there's something "different" out there for you?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

No, I'd rate that as "too expensive"! I am a Ruger fan. I currently have four Ruger of different descriptions and really regard the M77 as the U.K. shooting scenes best kept secret. But over two grand is pushing the envelope too far!
