Let us know how it goes.

Is the stock laminate, with a sticker on the outside? I have made up my mind to get a 30-06 Guide gun, but am interested in hearing how yours goes.

I wish you the best of luck, I have been watching reviews of that FTW rifle and it looks really good.

Congrats on the new rifle!! Ironically I just bought another 30-06 last week! It's getting rebarreled into a... 30-06

I like Ruger M77's a lot. Tang safety and newer ones and I have owned a ton of them over the years.

These FTW, Guide and African are among my favorite.

I sold a 9.3x62 I should have kept. It had some problems with the floor plate, and I should have sent it to Ruger, instead of selling it.
