Elliot. When it comes to choosing between a Remington or Winchester, well it ain't easy. I have Featherweights in .257 Roberts and 7x57 Mauser and I have Remingtons 700s in BDL and Classic, one BDL and two Classics, two in 30-06 and one .35 Whelen. Either brand will suit your purpose regardless of the cartridge you finally decide upon so my best advice is pick the one that feels bet to you. I like the Featherweights a bit better, but only because they feel a bit lighter in weight than the 700. As always, YMMV.
