Everybody here knows I'm a browning fan in rifles. While I like the browning a-bolt best,there's not a thing wrong with winchester. It has the simplest trigger on market. It's my belief that controlled feeding is wayyy over rated except on dangerous game. The remington has excellent reputation for out-of-box accuracy but has a flimsy extractor but can easily be converted to sako type extractor. The a-bolt also has adjustable trigger as well as 90 degree bolt throw and a zillion(MY opinion ONLY) other desirable features. I think anything you get will benefit greatly from a lil gunsmith magic.
