Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Help with son's first deer rifle: Ruger American vs Remington SPS?

If you can, let him handle both and see which one he prefers. If he has a strong preference, you have your answer.

If no strong preference, I would go with the Remington 700... As stated above, there is a world of after market parts available to tweak it and customize it when the time comes.

JMO... YMMV...
