Though I prefer a Ruger 77 over a Rem. 700, I'd quickly pass them up for an older FN Supreme any day. Can't go wrong with a TRUE Mauser 98 action and "old world" craftsmanship. I'd also take a Husqvarna before both. Great rifle, but not as fancy as a FN. If you shop around you can pick them up for as cheap or cheaper than most Ruger/Rem rifles.

My FN is awesome piece of equipment but punishing to shoot. Has the original FN embossed horn but plate and adding a slip on makes the lop odd.

I don't wanna argue or read the topic so I'll just say I have one Remmy....inherited and very sweet. I'd have to stop and think about how may AWESOME Rugers I have (it's not that many) but none are rifles except a 10/22. My Remmy is an 870 so I guess I just wet the topic bed.
Pass the gravy.

Check the recalls on both brands, then go get you a Ruger. Remington has been plagued the last few years with quality issues and forever with it's safety/ trigger issues. The main differenc between the two is that the Ruger will only discharge when you pull the trigger. Like I said, check the recalls. That will tell you all you need to know.

How many trigger issues has big green had in the last decade? Google Remington bolt handles breaking off. Remington has more than its fair share of issues. Rugers are good hunting rifles that are ready to go. Ruger discontinued the Hawkeye SS so there are some screaming deals on those out there. I would buy the Remington if you like to upgrade or if you want the best out of box accuracy. Buy the Ruger if you want a rugged, reliable rifle and are ok with moa accuracy.

Not long ago a rifle thst shot MOA was considered to be a special gun A rifle that shoots MOA will be fine for 99% of hunters I have guns that shoot sub MOA and some thst are MOA and in the field it doesn't make a lick of difference
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I agree the one that fits you best. That said, I have a custom Remington 700 in .300 Weatherby and love it. Never a problem and as long as I do my part stuff dies.

I've had a lot of both and I say Ruger.
I once drank muddy water out of a hoof print and was dang glad to get it.

I'd pass up on all that junk and buy a Tikka, in a heartbeat.

A 700 with a Timney trigger is a thing of beauty. Never really been a fan of Ruger rifles. My sentiments as well. Or skip both brands and buy a Tikka. Better action, great factory trigger, will shoot just as well, or better, than the Ruger or Rem. +1 on skip both, Savage, Tikka, CZ,
