Both are good rifles, but IMHO, Remingtons are better shooters. I really like the ergonomics of Remingtons; they seem to fit me well and direct recoil better than most others. Winchesters are also good.

I don't like the Ruger receiver angled-screw bedding system and actions seem too flexible and don't have adequate recoil plates. Some Rugers shoot, but the Remington 700 is the better action for serious shooters. I've never seen a Ruger 77 used in benchrest competition, for example, but have read of pretty good groups with the newer heavy-barrelled 77s.

You should also look at TC Icon and Venture. They seem to be very consistent. I'm not crazy about removable magazines, but Tikkas and Sakos are accurate shooters.
