Hello Hoser.

I would opt for the #1 and second Grenadier's recommendation. I have had both rifles apart and if need be you can always pick up an aftermarket trigger for the #1. The only comment that I have is that the #1 in calibers like 30-06 is a nice rifle to carry but a bit painful off of the bench. The way that stock is cut is pretty continental. That being said, that combination with a 2-8 Leopold could be one of the best all around for most US hunting
I don't recall the browning to be as bad but I could be wrong. By the way, the Browning finish comes off with certistrip from Brownells. Causes cancer in rocks, but really does a neat job of taking it off.

The only #1 I have currently is a .375H&H. Super accurate gun and not too bad to shoot with the heavy barrel and a sling.

Cheers,

Tom
