Either rifle would be a fine choice, I have the 444p Outfitter and it does an excellent job on whitetails, but the noise is brutal even in hunting situations. I would sooner have a sore shoulder than bleeding ears! <img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle> I would suggest: if you can, get one that isn`t ported, because the dampened recoil just isn`t worth it..
