I have a 257R pistol and a rifle. The pistol is a 16" Encore and the rifle is a Ruger Tang safety M77 with a Douglas Premium SS barrel, Timney trigger and B&C Stock. My daughter laid claim to it when she was about 9 years old. I nee to find another one for me again.
I also have a 25-06 Rugger...
how much do you spend on deer hunting--gas/tags/rifle and scope/cost of transportation/camping stuff(or RV) and other extensives?? I bet a lot more than the cost of those bullets or even loaded ammo. Then consider the bullet is the only thing that contacts the animal and determines if you are...

I enjoy most all my firearms but the most fun rifle is one of my two 50BMG rifles. Shooting them is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. My fav hunting rifle would be my 338win mag Ruger Tang safety M77 or my 257W in a Weatherby MKV rifle. It is hard to beat my Ruger RH in 44mag for...
