Im sure the Ruger is accurate enough. I have read through the posts of people shooting something like 600 yards quite well with them on this forum. Its more or less ergonomics for me. The over all feel of the Ruger feels very cheap in my hands especially those rotary mags and the fore grip on the gun. Not that the remington has an outstanding synthetic stock itself! To each is own really, but in all honesty you can do anything with a 700 and the versatility is hard to compete with. In the end buy what fits you best and enjoy shooting!
