I'm in the market for a new deer/hog rifle. I want stainless and either synthetic or laminate.

I had my choices narrowed down to a Rem. 700 XCR and a Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker....I'd be happy with either I'm sure.

Had a chance to look at a stainless/synthetic Ruger 77 the other day. The Ruger really felt good, as they always have in the past.

Here's my question. I seem to hear A LOT of totally different things about Rugers as far as out of the box accuracy. It seems to be pretty consistant that they need some trigger work done, but I'm not sure if the Remington or the Browning would also need work to get them to be acceptable.

Any input would be greatly appreciated
