I am looking at two used rifles at a local shop. This would be alternative deer rifle to my Marlin 336 30-30, and .35 Whelen handi rifle
Ruger M77 mkII stainless/synthetic .308 $450
Remington 7600 pump synthetic .308 $425
I am sure he would come down some on either of them.
I really like the stainless of the Ruger and the Mauser style action for ruggedness and dependability.
But, there is definitely something cool about the pump action rifle. My father-in-law has been hunting with his 760 for over 20 years now. This one also has iron sights on the barrel, but either will be getting a scope.
What are your opinions on these two rifles?
Thanks
If those are the only two choices then I would save my money and stick with the Marlin. If you just have to have one of them then I would pick the 7600. It would likely outshoot the Ruger.

I guess those are not the only two choices, but they were both in the shop today and caught my eye.
