I have a Ruger Mark 77 .30-06 my wife bought me for Christmas a few years ago. She picked it up used (I love used guns!) Anyway great shooter I've been running Winchester ballistic silver tips (150 grn) I'll tell you this I bought a box of 20 I've used 4 rounds and have 4 dead animals. Also .30-06 is cheap to practice with; which is more important than the scope or the rifle. At the end of the day I just trust that rifle.

And the proof is in the pudding so to speak!
