I once owned a Ruger 77 in .270, and kick myself frequently for ever getting rid of it, even with the somewhat cheap Weaver glass I had on it. Ruger doesn't have the best rep in the gun world, I know, but after glass-bedding the barrel it was a MOA rifle at 200 yards, and had put a lot of meat on my table.

My next planned long arm acquisition will be a DPMS M4 in .308/7.62 NATO. Get the best of all worlds. Drive tacks at 200 yards on the range, hunt hogs/deer etc., or be ready for when the zombies come.

Spendy, yes, at $1150 or so for the rifle and another $400+ for appropriate glass, but it's a one time investment with multiple usage opportunities.
