Ok i've posted in another thread about a remington i was looking at, but due to cost and cost/availability of ammo. I've decided to look at other guns..
I think i've found the one that has everything i'm looking for and is in a price range that i'm happy with.
it's a ruger m77/markII sporter in 300 winmag (probably topped with a leupold scope)
thoughts about this rilfe?

M77® Mark II Sporter bolt action rifles are available in both right- and left-hand models and feature:
** Rugged, weather-resistant laminate stocks and stainless steel barreled actions.
** One-piece bolt that has proven to be one of the strongest on the market, standing up over the years to such magnum cartridges as the .375 H&H, .416 Rigby, and .458 Lott.
** Non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled-feed extractor, the most positive case extraction system ever invented, and a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward.
** Patented floorplate latch, mounted flush with the front of the trigger guard, that secures the hinged floorplate against accidental dumping of cartridges, yet allows quick unloading of the magazine by simply pressing from the outside of the guard.
** Patented integral scope rings that attach directly to the receiver's precision-machined mounting surfaces, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field (included at no extra cost).
** Easily accessible three-position safety that allows the shooter to lock the bolt, or to load and unload with the safety engaged.
** Studs for mounting sling swivels.
