dang since when did we start useing red X's as buleyes.  the groups so small i cant seem to make it out.
sounds like one heck of a rifle.   the monarch scope isnt bad either.  what power is it.  maybe id take it off your hands if the price was right.
ive got a m77 300win same as andy these have the 24" magnum taper barrel.  Andy was misinfroming just alittle bit

.  i wouldnt call this my go to gun but itl be my bigger big game go to rifle.
the caliber just always appealed to me for some reason,  then one year i test fired a few 300wins and decided i had to have one.  and the ruger long action is super slick.  atleast i think so.  and will agree the 22/250s rugers arent near as smooth and consistent as rugers longer action actions.
have a good one
