I have a Ruger American in .308 and love it. With my reloads (nothing special) I get .7" at 100 yards and 1.2" at 200 yds. resting on a log. Bullet is a Hornady 155 gr A-Max over Hodgdon 223 powder. Glass is a Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14X40 mildot scope.
My first Rifle, for bugging out.

I have never purchased a rifle before, well any gun actually. I have shot some, but it is time for me to get a rifle.
I have been keeping an eye out for one rifle I really like. The Remington Model 770 30-06 Springfield or 308 Win

I was wondering if this could be a great rifle for hunting, and protection in the woods against wild life and/or humans and of course bugging out.
EDIT: ADDED PICS OF PRICE OF GUN AND AMMO
Here are some pictures of the price of the rifle, and ammo.
Rem Model 770 W/ Scope - $297.00
