    My bargain M77 220 Swift with Meopta 3-12x50 and Atec H2. Aluminium pillar/epoxy bedded stock. Bit of a heffalump but it's my favourite deer rifle. Lovely smooth action. It's waiting for a 1:9 stainless barrel in 220 Ackley improved.

    260Rem has taken a lot of deer for me before I sold it to my uncle. Then he sold it back to me in his final stages of cancer. He threw in a couple of other guns with it also. I had just enough time to order a scope and sight it in and take it back to the field with me and take this buck opening morning in some very thick fog. He had a big body.

    Some nice guns here! I believe there was a run of 10/22s that made it to NZ with sub par barrels, which understandably put a lot of people off(my uncle included, his one he bought new grouped about 10” at 50m!) but thankfully, touch wood, I haven’t come across one of those yet.

    There are definitely lighter, more accurate and better looking rifles out there, but there’s just something about Rugers that keeps me coming back
