Now dont take this the wrong way. Becouse I am not getting in the middle of this.

But 90% of the guns I own, are Remingtons, and I am a very devoted Remington fan. All of mine shoot very well.( 1 inch and under) But I have had BAD rifles in MOST of the different types of rifles made by a veriety of gun makers. The last on was my Ruger #1 in the 7 mm Rem mag.

I prob. will never buy anouther Ruger #1 in my life. But that doesnt mean that I wont buy one of their M77's. Ruger makes fine rifles.

To each their own.

Sort of like that old saying:
ONE MANS TRASH IS ANOUTHER MANS TREASURE.

Just a thought.
