RE: what make should i go with
I prefer the Ruger rings that come with the Rugers, because they are strong and you can check each screw to see if it is tight without removing the rings...
I prefer the Remington trigger, because I can adjust myself...With the current Rugers it needs replacing...
I prefer the Remigton safety...don't care for the 3 position safety....
In my experiences the Remington will be more accurate than the Ruger...
With less out of the box tuning....
But...I shoot a Ruger...one of the older tang safety models, where you could still adjust the trigger....
Sure wish Ruger would go back to the tang safety and give us a good adjustable trigger like Remington does....
