I’m finally planning on moving from the varmit world to bigger game such as deer and elk. I want to purchase my rifle now so that I have plenty of time this summer to shot it and get comfortable.

I’ve narrowed down my choices to either the Ruger M77 MkII Sporter or the Remington 700 Mountain Rifle LSS in 30-06. While it looks like the Rem 700’s are a more popular rifle, I’m partial to Ruger. I still haven’t had the opportunity to shot (or even hold) any of the Ruger Sporter models.

I’m looking for opinions both general and specific. Thanks.
