My go-to hunting rifle for the last forever is a tang safety Ruger 77 30-06. Good
solid acceptably accurate rifle, bedded into a Bell and Carlson stock.
Current glass is a 30 or so year old Redfield Widefield 3-9. Big old scope, and I'm
sure the optics were state of the art way back when--but time for an upgrade.
Would like to stay with the Ruger rings. 4.25" centers, 1" tube and I can not quite
clear a 50mm objective.
Let's just say $600 tops and see where it goes----
Looking at the Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36---but with all the offerings from Althon, Vortex etc.
I am certainly open to suggestion. What say you?
