I have always been a huge Ruger fan. The Hawkeyes are built hell for stout. The FW will feel better in the hand, will be more refined, will be less likely to be defective, will likely be more accurate and won't gouge the ever loving piss out of your brass.
I have a Mk II that certainly does that. Is that typical for their bolt action? (roll call here) At least you know what brass goes with what rifle.
The Winchester will have a smoother cycling action by a large margin.
