Ok. I've FINALLY narrowed down my "all around" big game rifle purchase to these 2 models.

Left hand. Wood stock. Blued steel. In .30-06

There are things I like about both rifles. I've felt like the length of pull was too short on the Remmy, but a 1/4" or 1/2" spacer will fix that.

Controled round feed vs. Push feed?????? I don't know if there really is a "better" since I'm not hunting dangerous game.

Any info you guys could give me that might help me make up my mind between these 2 rifles would REALLY be appreciated!!!

No need to recomend a different rifle. I've looked at them all and FOR ME, it's down to these 2.

If it helps any, I'll be hunting deer and hogs at normal distances. I'm not going to be shooting over 250-300 yards. I would be going after a totally different setup for that and frankly I lack the practice time and skill involved in shooting Ridge Runner distances. LOL

Things that are important to my decision....

1. Out of the box accuracy. (I know you can get a lemon or a tack driver from any company... But what should I view as acceptable hunting accuracy?)

2. Ease of customizing. Glass bedding. Barrel floating. Trigger work. Ect.

3. Good warranty/customer service should they ever be needed.
