RE: Which of these two centerfire rifles would you suggest for my use?
The American looks very similar to the Remington 798/799 Mauser. I'm sure the quality is better or about the same as the Rem. 798/799. Good looking guns. I'd get it in 30.06 b/c of the large line up of bullets you can get and the large amount of animals you could use it for. Just my opinion. Good luck with whatever you do.
