I would buy the Ruger over the Browning any day!!!! For one thing, alot of people dont seem to care about, the Ruger is made in the U.S.A. the Browning is made in Japan. I say support America's economy and buy American!!!! I have two Ruger rifles and love them both, one is a 280 the other is a 223. I have some Brownings but the only ones I own are older Belgium made.
