Jarrey,

"..........which has more great features than the other."

Only YOU can say "what is a great feature".


".........which is more reliable......"

If you are talking about bolt action rifles; you rack over a round and pull the trigger, it goes bang.

I own a X-Bolt Stainless Stalker (love it)............and I would buy a Remington 700 XCR anyday !


Depends on which features YOU want in YOUR rifle !!!


Not for nothin, but I not a big believer in short mags.


Never found a "need" for one.............
