I've looked at both, and I would say the NEF. It just looks like it is built better to me. If I get another centerfire rifle it will most likely be a NEF model. I haven't heard one bad thing about them, ever. Even the gun shop told me they were good guns. The more expensive bolt actions and semi autos have a little better triggers and shoot more than one shot, but the NEFs can be just as accurate if you don't mind being limited to one shot.
