Both are great rifles, the CDL will shoot good, I'm sure the Ruger will too. That cartridge is easy to make shoot well so it really comes down to the one that appeals to you. If it were me I would probably go Ruger assuming its a crf MKII or Hawkeye. Which feels best to you? The CDL's looked nice and shot very well. That 24" barrel eeks out a tad more speed usually. Action type matter to you? Can't go wrong here in my opinion.
