Either caliber is great. I have both and love them both equally. A gun you might look at is the Howa. They are simply a Weatherby vangard with a better stock. You can get one with a free floated barrel and excellent hogue over mold stock and decent glass for around $500. The triggers are the best stock trigger I have ever used. It blows the accu trigger out of the water, and it is a pretty good trigger.
