Should I trade ?

D10T · Mar 7, 2011

I have a guy that wants to trade me a TC pro hunter for my ruger #1 . It looks like new
and my ruger is a good 85%.a 270 would be more gentle on the bench compared the my 338,
just not sure if its a even trade

Unless you want to switch barrels, keep the Ruger 1.
I don't think its an even trade myself.

Frankly, I think it all depends on what you want out of the rifle.

They're both single shots. The Ruger in my mind is a classier, higher-grade rifle, but the T-C deserves respect too. Your .338 is more optimal for big things that need a lot of killing. The .270 is better for the vast majority of hunting, which means deer size game.

Which one do you like more? That's the one to keep.

I agree with the other posters. I wouldn't trade unless you are trading straight across or up !!!!! :grin: :grin:

Well talked myself out of the trade,must of had a moment of weakness and to much time on my hands :?
But its probably going to cost me in the long run.The more I look and shoot it the more I want other #1"s
