RE: Winchester,Ruger,or Remington
Nothing at all wrong with Winchesters. Remington also makes a nice rifle (except the 710), as does Ruger. But don't overlook Browning. And Savage too. They are not the prettiest rifles out there (the Ultra is nice) but the prices are very reasonable and I'm not the only one who thinks these rifles are one of the most accurate ones right out of the box. The new Accu-trigger is fantastic once you get used to it.
