RE: Ruger Vs. Remington
I would go for the Ruger over the Remington any day.
Much much better extractor, one piece bolt vs. multiple piece bolt, Flat bottom receiver vs. a round receiver, integrated recoil lug vs. a seperate recoil ring / lug, three position safety, Integrated scope base, comes with scope rings,
Around here the Rugers go for $425.00 to $500.00 or so.
