I prefer the Ruger NO 1. I like the balance for shooting off hand. I like the stock design and weight of the rifle for shooting magnum calibers. I've not had and accuracy issue that needed a gunsmith. The triggers are not bench rest quality but just as good as any standard rifle coming off the shelf plus they don't have creep.

If I was to build a bench rest rifle, it would probably come from a Remington 700 action. And besides the Remington 700 ADL rifles they are great rifles in themselves. And if you do want a trigger job it's going to cost less at the gun shop to get it done. And they do have a better mounting system for scopes. Ruger could work on that a touch. I've shot some tack drivers in the Remington Senedero.

Best thing to do is find people with both guns and get them to the range and make your own calculated decision. Before buying one.
