I've had great success with Benelli M1 Super 90.. It's reliable a shotgun as I've ever owned, little recoil, well balanced. I like the easy break down for cleaning, too. No gas operated holes/mechananism to get gunked up.

Tikka T3. One of the most accurate out of the box quality rifles for the money made. Can't compare a Ruger trigger to a Tikka. Floating barrel. Great design. Exceptional firearm.
