It's a hard choice which of the two makes is the most rugged ?

I'm not fond of the merkels with the Bavarian style stock either.

I'm not sure of the price difference but if one was significantly cheaper than the other I would sway that way.

I think I prefer the chapuis but have no knowledge to back my thought up.

So you can't put a aim point micro on you have to mount one of the hunter series ?

Thank you
