I would have to disagree with those that say that the Ruger is way too small for the average man.
I have two of the Rugers one in the 308 and one in the 243 cals. I stand 5' 10'' tall and weigh 210 pounds. I use a Leupold compact scope that fits this rifle and myself perfect.

Do yourself a favor and put one up to your shoulder and see if it fits. If not then go with the Browning.

Just my two cents.
