May I add a third choice?
How do the Ruger Express rifles compare to the Winchester 70 and the Whitworth rifles?
Merry Christmas everyone
With one of these you get the solid three position safety, but its shape and positioning in the rearmost notch leaves a LOT to be desired. A good option, but only if the buyer spends the money to have a metalworking gunsmith re shape that blasted safety!
Has anyone mentioned getting a Whitworth and just adding a David Gentry or Ed LaPour safety to it? Best of all worlds, there.
Also there is the excellent Kimber Caprivi and finished rifles from the Montana Rifle company or Dakota that would all be terrific options here. Real honest to gosh Mausers with great safeties.
Today truly is the golden age of fine yet affordable firearms available for purchasing and of great calibers avaiable, IMO.
