It seems you have determined the two rifles you wish to choose from.So no other makes or model need be suggested. I have no experience with either other then one afternoon sighting in a Beartooth Magnum made by New Frontier. This is the same as the Wolf. That Beartooth tuned in very fast, was accurate, and while it had not the fit of the higher dollar rifles proved very servicable when hunting season came. The young man too a nice doe shooting 80 grains of Triple Se7en and a 245 grain Powerbelt.

The main thing is ... most any inline you purchase today will be a 100 yard rifle. You need to examine what you expect the rifle to do. If you're going to scope it and shoot out to 150 yards or more then I would go with the Kodiak. I am sure either of them will be a good shooting gun. Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer and you should have a safe a and happyexperience.
