i don't want to stereo type, but.... isn't it funny that the browning guys like the german guns and then there is the italians?, or is it just my observations.
to the O.P., if you think you'll continue to shoot in comp. you will definitely not be happy with the ruger level of gun. They are nice guns, but like many others are trying ( I think) to say is they aren't comp guns, more field guns than anything.
