Thanks for the input guys...
Update...
A wrench has been thrown in the works...
So I had pretty much resigned to buy the Ruger, on the front cover of
[url "http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/home/pages/eflyer3.html?catalog_name=rtl_4fe&store_num=13&rfx_versioningid=013"]http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/home/pages/eflyer3.html?catalog_name=rtl_4fe&store_num=13&rfx_versioningid=013[/url])
Everyone had good things to say about it, and it was stainless/ black synthetic stock which would match my Browning .270 (Pathetic and shallow I know...)
But then another visit to the Cabelas website brought the second addition of the "fall sport spectacular sale":

And on it's front cover is this Remington 710 combo .243 with a Bushnell 3x9 for $299. which seems like a really good deal, and now I'm thinking that I could do gun and a new Lorance X135 fishfinder for the same price as the Ruger.
So, now I'm really torn. I really only plan on buying one .243 and keeping it for the rest of my life. I will probably only shoot it once or twice a year at the most. And also I can wait till next spring for the fishfinder I guess...
So, my final question here is, or maybe I just hoping that somebody will confirm, that the Ruger M77 Mark 2 with a Leupold 3x9 ($169 on sale) is a way better gun, and worth the extra $310 over the Remington 710 with a Bushnell scope.
I starting to feel like a woman at a shoe store that can't make a decision...
Sorry guys...
