I own 3 ruger rifles and have never had a minutes trouble with any of them, Also all 3 shoot MOA. I wouldnt bother me to buy another one. I have never owned a browning, but have shot several of them. To me it seems that the recoil is lighter on a browning vs ruger with the same loads. All the brownings have shot fine as well. I dont think you would go wrong with either brand.
