Default Ruger Hawkey vs. Browning Medallion

Ok. So I've narrowed down my next rifle purchase to either a Ruger Hawkey or a Browning A Bolt Medallion in 7mm Rem Mag.
I like both rifles, but there's about $250 difference in price. The Browning being more expensive of course.
My question is....do YOU folks think the A Bolt is worth the price difference?
I know Browning has a fantastic reputation for accuracy and build quality. Ruger seems to be a tad more "hit and miss" with out of box accuracy. I know you can get a lemon from any company though.
I'm curious if folks who have used both can tell me things that either rifle excel at. Accuracy. Durability. Reliability. Ect....

Just looking for opinions....


P.S. I already have the scope, so no need to tell me to save money on the gun and spend it on glass. Both rifles are within my price range.
