With the Ruger, your limited to 1 style of scope mounting system and upgradeable parts. You can'y beet the Remington 700's for out of the box accuracy. Between the two Rem's I would go with the synthetic stock since they are made from H-S Precision wich has the full length bedding block
And they do not warp under change in climate. If you get the Rem. With the synthetic stock and don't like it Email me and we can trade stocks....I have a brand new Rem. laminated stock with bottom metal, never used. [email protected]
