FWIW both are good rifles, the most meaningful difference in my opinion, and the opinion of a well respected guide/outfitter is the safety is located on the Winchester's bolt and nearly impossible to accidentally put on safe while operating the bolt under duress while the Ruger's safety is mounted on the action and CAN be bumped to the safe position while operating the bolt with vigor.
Might only matter if being charged by something that wants to hurt you.
