Pretty much the same as my first centrefire! But plastic instead of wood. Enjoy

Choosing the one you like the feel of is the best way to choose! I didn't know that when I started out and bought one on trademe that looked nice. Hadn't handled many options at that stage so it was just luck that it also happened to feel good and fit me well.

What model was yours? And how did it shoot?

Mine is (I still have it 5 years down the track) an M77 Hawkeye in 308, put a Weaver V9 on top and thats still there too despite falling down a hill with it on my back.

Shoots well enough too, around 0.75 MOA with handloads. The only factory ammo I ever tried was Highland 150gr, that did 1.2-1.5 MOA so still good enough for hunting. Don't sweat it if you aren't shooting amazing groups to start with, takes a bit of practice to get good at it and find the ammo your rifle likes.
