I have a new Ruger in 260. The trigger is not hard to pull but it has about a half mile of pull with lots of creep. It really isn't useable out of the box. From what I have heard though it an easy trigger to tune up. This one will go to the gunsmith. I love the gun except for the trigger. Remingtons I can adjust myself to perfection. Never looked at a Winchester trigger. I have only owned one Winchester bolt gun in my life. The Savage with the Accu-trigger should be great right out of the box. I think most of my future rifles will be Savage. Good trigger and accurate out of the box.
