ruger .30/06 handed down from father, need in - 05/04/03 12:52 PM

i just picked up a new(to me) ruger .30/06 that my father has had for many years and was wondering where i could find out some specifics on it and the leupold scope it came mounted with..i've already searched yahoo and ruger and leupold's websites, maybe take it in to a local gun store(not sure if i can get an honest answer since they'll probably try to sell me a different gun or think i'm trying to find it's value for resale purposes)..thanks in advance, this rifle will kill much more game before i hand it off to my own son someday

What is it you specifically want to know? You can't beat the 30-06, that's for sure. And the Ruger is a good rifle, maybe not the most accurate rifle there is, but plenty accurate for hunting. Can't beat Leupold either. Is it a Vari X 3 or a Vari X 2? And what power range?
