I would just go with the Ruger rifle. I have had very good luck with the Hawkeye and M77 rifles. I like the Ruger scope mounting system MUCH better than a base and rings. I use the Warne QD rings on my .458 and .375 and no problems. I have used the M77s for many years and never a repair needed. I have had a few Remingtons and had problems with several.
