The Remington 700 and Ruger M-77 are both well made rifles.If the Remington is a newer model I would think twice before considering a trade for the Remington. Remington's quality has slipped over the last several years.I have both a Remington 700(had several over the years) and a few Ruger M-77's.I prefer the Ruger's.When I first bought my current Rem 700 the bolt wouldn't stay cocked.After working the bolt many times it started to function correctly.I figure there was a burr or something causing the malfunction.It's your choice what you decide,but if it were my decision I'd keep the Ruger M- 77......Ruger Redhawk
